THE IMMORTALISTS is an interesting, entertaining and fascinating novel by Chloe Benjamin. This contemporary fiction novel is a must read for anyone who loves a bit of fantasy laced in between a story that is truly unique. Benjamin grabs your attention from the beginning with scenes that are mesmerizing and colorful. Follow along as four young siblings share their lives after they visit a gypsy fortune teller who tells them the date of each of their deaths.

Can they live a life that is full and happy? Will this information change their view of things and their reactions? Page after page, the drama and suspense does not disappoint! Benjamin tells their story creatively, with descriptive and captivating twists and turns. Some will stand out more than others, but do not be fooled because everything happens for a reason. Will their lives have meaning when they are gone?

THE IMMORTALISTS has a small group of main characters that are loveable, funny, and share the typical sibling competitiveness.

Klara is one of the siblings who stands out the most because of the magical aspect to her storyline. Through creative and imaginative writing, you are taken into a world that is both magical and breathtaking. As the siblings deal with many bumps along the long and sometimes dangerous journey they manage to stick together making them stronger.

THE IMMORTALISTS is a thought provoking book that moves at a fast pace. This read is full of heartfelt emotions with a deeply moving story line that is sure to stick with you. The overall story is unique with a lot of unexpected drama and a few tearful moments. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading contemporary fiction with the touch of fantasy that makes THE IMMORTALISTS a truly magical read.

SUMMARY

A dazzling family love story reminiscent of Everything I Never Told You from a novelist heralded by Lorrie Moore as a "great new talent." If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life? It's 1969 in New York City's Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold childrenβ€”four adolescents on the cusp of self-awarenessβ€”sneak out to hear their fortunes. Their prophecies inform their next five decades. Golden-boy Simon escapes to the West Coast, searching for love in '80s San Francisco; dreamy Klara becomes a Las Vegas magician, obsessed with blurring reality and fantasy; eldest son Daniel seeks security as an army doctor post-9/11, hoping to control fate; and bookish Varya throws herself into longevity research, where she tests the boundary between science and immortality. A sweeping novel of remarkable ambition and depth, The Immortalists probes the line between destiny and choice, reality and illusion, this world and the next. It is a deeply moving testament to the power of story, the nature of belief, and the unrelenting pull of familial bonds.
