1969, New York City. In the Lower East Side, a rumor spreads about the appearance of a mysterious fortune teller who can predict the day of death. Four young Golds, ranging in age from seven to thirteen, decide to learn their impending fate. When it comes to Varya, the oldest, the fortune-teller looks at her palm and smiles: "Everything will be all right with you, you will die in 2044." Outside, Varya is waited for by her gloomy brothers and sister. In the decades that follow, the prophecies begin to come true. The children's fates will prove bizarre. Simon Gold escapes to San Francisco, where he dives headfirst into bohemian life. Clara, after meeting with a fortune-teller, will sink deeper into dreams every year, wanting to overcome the boundary between fantasy and reality. Daniel will become a military doctor, and he will lead a measured life until fate intervenes. Varya will devote herself to studying the problem of immortality, balancing science and fiction. A novel of surprising depth about the relationship between inevitability and freedom of choice, about the intertwining of illusion and reality, about the strength of family ties and the forces that break them.
