SUMMARY:AM Page Turners: The Immortalists
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Immortalists (2018\, Magical 
 Realism) by Chloe Benjamin (346 pgs\, 3.7/5 stars on Goodreads).\n\nA 
 Goodreads Choice Award nominee for Readers' Favorite Historical Fiction 
 (2018)\n\nIf you knew the date of your death\, how would you live your 
 life?\n\nIt's 1969 in New York City's Lower East Side\, and word has spread 
 of the arrival of a mystical woman\, a traveling psychic who claims to be 
 able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children—four 
 adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness—sneak out to hear their 
 fortunes.\n\nThe prophecies inform their next five decades. Golden-boy 
 Simon escapes to the West Coast\, searching for love in '80s San 
 Francisco\; dreamy Klara becomes a Las Vegas magician\, obsessed with 
 blurring reality and fantasy\; eldest son Daniel seeks security as an army 
 doctor post-9/11\; and bookish Varya throws herself into longevity 
 research\, where she tests the boundary between science and 
 immortality.\n\nA sweeping novel of remarkable ambition and depth\, The 
 Immortalists probes the line between destiny and choice\, reality and 
 illusion\, this world and the next. It is a deeply moving testament to the 
 power of story\, the nature of belief\, and the unrelenting pull of 
 familial bonds.\n\nCopies of the book will be distributed at the previous 
 meeting and\, afterward\, are available by visiting the front desk at 
 either Centerville or Woodbourne Library. The title is available in Regular 
 Print\, Large Print\, CD Book\, eBook\, and eAudiobook.  No registration is 
 necessary\, but participants are encouraged to read the book prior to 
 attending the discussion.
