The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
5.0
I received this book as an advanced reader copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
Amazing. A brilliantly written story spanning the lives of 4 siblings over multiple decades. The story begins when the Gold children go to a fortune teller one summer day to hear the dates of their death.
So, going into this, you know there is going to be death. It is unavoidable. But Chloe Benjamin does a masterful job of unfolding their lives- one by one, yet in each person's story, the she brings in the others. Even though the sections are in chronological order, she has a seamless way of weaving in the past, almost as a memory or flashback that makes it effortless to follow the storyline.
