If you could find out the exact date of your death, would you do it?

The four Gold siblings visit a fortune teller who can allegedly tell you when you will die. One by one the siblings meet with the gypsy to learn their fate. The knowledge they gain that day will shape the rest of their lives.

Divided into parts of each siblings story, we learn how each Gold member copes with the knowledge of their inevitable deaths.

Anger, mistrust, ambition, and individuality fill the pages of this novel. I related to and enjoyed some of the siblings stories more than the others. The book felt slow and dragged out at parts but definitely had me questioning if I would choose to find out when I wood die and what I would do with the information if I decided to obtain it.
