The immortalists [large print] / Chloe Benjamin.
It's 1969 on New York City's Lower East Side. Word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims she can tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children - four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness - sneak out to hear their fortunes. The Immortalists probes the line between destiny and choice, reality and illustion, 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.--back cover
