Summary: Four young siblings sneak out to hear the fortunes told by a mystical woman, who predicts the exact day each of them will die.
Thoughts: The premise had me thinking and discussing with friends – would you want to know the exact day you are going to die? And would you live your life any differently with that knowledge, which may or may not influence whether the prophesy comes true. The story is told in sections about each of the four siblings – how the knowledge affects them, and the choices they make in life which seem heavily influenced by the prophesy, leading you to think whether their outcome would have been difference had they not known their fate. Fascinating idea, not necessarily well executive, but an interesting read nevertheless.
