"The Immortalists" contained such ordinary ideas with a bit of mysticism that made the overall outcome of the novel quite unique. The novel was about hopeful kids in the 60s who were curious about a certain fortune teller. Right away, the author captured my full attention. These kids in the cusps of adolescence and longing to know about their future seemed to be a clever idea of a coming of age story. I liked the idea that these kids were curious and self-aware.
The interesting part especially in the eyes of the reader is how these kids would react to their fortunes being told. The idea of "self-fulfilling prophecies" immediately comes to mind. Will knowing about their futures affect their futures, or are their futures set in stone based on what the mystical woman had told them?
I guess you have to read to find out.
