About this audiobook
From the author of the eagerly anticipated Under Story comes the reading-group classic that asks: if you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life?
'A captivating family saga' The New York Times Book Review
'This literary family saga is perfect for fans of Celeste Ng and Donna Tartt' People Magazine (Book of the Week)
'Once I started reading The Immortalists, I resented every moment I had to spend away from the book until I'd finished' Stylist
'A compelling and utterly absorbing read with virtuoso storytelling on display' Sunday Express
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.
