In today’s world we are all constantly reminded to be present, be in the now but with the knowledge of when you are going to die can one do this? This was the mindset I chose to have while reading The Immortalists. Outstanding premise to be sure as that truly is the one thing each of us has in common with the other is we are all going to die. I was grateful the author chose to have four characters, all siblings receive this info and as children even as it allows the story to be told from four perspectives. It does alter how they spend their days. I am thinking as I type these very thoughts, am I spending today as I would if I had this knowledge.
I highly recommend this for Bookclubs and wish I could hear each of the conversations Benjamin inspires.
