This sweeping family drama was absolutely fantastic! It centers around four children after they meet a fortune teller who tells them exactly the date they will die on.
This novel was an exploration of family dynamics but also an exploration of how to live, knowing how long you have to live. Each child lives with the knowledge of their death date differently, and each section of the book dives into their lives until their deaths.
This novel made me reflect on the best ways to live - is it with reckless abandon? Is it with caution? Is there some in-between way to live best? This is a phenomenally written existential novel that is going to be popular with book clubs and often raises more questions for the reader.
