# Event Details

- **Event Name**: General Book Club: The Immortalists
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In December we’ll discuss The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life?

It'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.

The 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.

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.

Copies of the book will be available in the library one month before the program. 

This book club is intended for adults. No registration is required.
