Four kid siblings go to a seer who tells them the date when they're going to die. Then we follow their lives and deaths. The title is a bit ironic.

I liked the concept - the various endings really make you wonder whether things still would have happened the same way if they hadn't heard the future. I found the first two siblings a lot more interesting, the second two less so, but they all had twists and little details that I liked.

The presentation of Roma people in the book is... not very positive, though. Although there are some interesting sparks about the culture and the language, but overall they are seen as criminals and cheats by most characters.
