If you knew the date you were going to die, then how would you live your life? asks this New York Times bestselling, critically acclaimed novel.
´Immersive and impressive´ The Sunday Times

The NEW YORK TIMES Top Ten Bestseller
It´s 1969, and holed up in a grimy tenement building in New York´s Lower East Side is a travelling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the date they will die. The four Gold children, too young for what they´re about to hear, sneak out to learn their fortunes.
Such prophecies could be dismissed as trickery and nonsense, yet the Golds bury theirs deep. Over the years that follow they attempt to ignore, embrace, cheat and defy the ´knowledge´ given to them that day - but it will shape the course of their lives forever.
´Such is her dazzling sureness of touch that you wonder if here is a writer who is truly capable of anything´ Daily Mail
A boundlessly moving inquisition into mortality, grief and passion...The Immortalists is not just a novel about grief; it conjures characters with such dimension that you mourn them too, a magic rare enough to leave one astonished Observer
