Description
In 1969 New York, four Gold siblings seek out a mysterious fortune-teller who claims to know the exact dates of their deaths—a revelation that shapes their choices for the next five decades. As they pursue radically different lives, from San Francisco’s queer nightlife and Las Vegas illusion to military medicine and cutting-edge longevity research, each struggles to determine whether fate is fixed or made through belief and action. Spanning generations and vividly rendered worlds, the novel explores mortality, family loyalty, science, spirituality, and the stories people tell themselves to make sense of the unknown. It is an emotionally resonant meditation on destiny, free will, and the enduring bonds between siblings.
