About this listen
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. Four siblings, too young for what they are about to hear, sneak out to hear their fortunes.
We then follow the intertwined paths the siblings take over the course of five decades and, in particular, how they choose to live with the supposed knowledge the fortune-teller gave them that day.
This is a story about life, mortality and the choices we make: is it better to live a long and cautious life or to burn brightly, but for the shortest time?

A good read
This book held my attention and I was always happy to pick it up again. An intriguing story and does make you think about mortality.

As most reviews would suggest
Great concept and makes for an interesting book club discussion but as most reviews suggest it doesn't go as deep into the concept of knowing your death day as I would have liked. All round, 4/5 glad to have read but probably unlikely to read again

A really well told story
Not exactly my type of book and pretty far from the genre that I usually read but reading it for a book club I have recently joined and I enjoyed it immensely. The characters are told through thoughtful eyes. They are as complete as a book of this type needs them to be. I love how grounded the author has made each and every character and how relatable they are. I definitely recommend reading it even if it's not up your alley.

Avoid
Couldn't get past the gay porn literature, which I found distasteful. I wouldn't recommend this book.
