![]() Thoroughly engaging, exploring several topics, something that will stay with me for a long time. ![]() It is an interesting insight into the siblings interior lives and it reads like a Man Booker Prize nominee Book. It is a story of family, not just the love shared between family but the dislike, the disapproval of others decisions, the selfishness, the selflessness and the actions which lead to consequences beyond others control. The story follows each of the children in their adult lives as their predicted dates of death grow closer. But each sibling is strongly influenced by the predictions the woman made. Klara pursues her dreams to become a successful magician, Daniel continues medical school to become a doctor and Varya turns her studies to science. ![]() Simon runs away to San Francisco for a wild life of dancing, sex and a free life. What would you do if you knew when you were going to die? What they hear precedes the events which follow. 13 year old Varya goes to see her with her three younger siblings Daniel, Klara and Simon. In 1969 a mysterious woman arrives in New York, rumour has it that she can fortell the date of your death. Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and Chloe Benjamin for my ARC of The Immortalists. TOP CRITIC The age-old search for the fountain of youth is engagingly appraised in 'The Immortalists,' a lively documentary focusing on a pair of very different biomedical scientists who are. ![]()
