The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
Paperback RRP £9.99
”This novel was perfect lockdown reading for me, I loved it. It examines deep questions about free will verses fate.
Four siblings learn the date of their death from a mystic. What this prophecy does to each one and what choices they make after this ‘knowledge’ forms the basis of a life story about each one. Their lives both connect and disconnect at different times in unexpected ways. I felt so involved with each character and their story.
This book stayed with me a long time after reading – I would put it in my unforgettable category. The construction is very clever and the reader is left to interpret the meanings in many different ways. Readers who love philosophical novels that ask big questions will enjoy this!’ -Linda
