Such an interesting and unique premise! If you could know the date of your death, would you want to? Does knowing the date, make it become a self fulfilling prophecy? The story of the four Gold siblings over their lifetimes is certainly an interesting take on a coming of age story. While Simon, Klara, Daniel and Varya are different as could be, I think there are truly identifiable qualities in each of them. On the last night of their father’s Shiva, they go to a fortune teller and learn the date they will die. It’s incredibly interesting to see how each sibling reacts and how their lives are shaped as a result. Benjamin certainly offers a ton of food for thought here.

Multigenerational family stories are my favorite and this one certainly fit that bill.
