The Immortalists
I love family sagas especially when they move through decades of time and have different perspectives so this novel was perfect for me. The characters were complex and the writing was beautiful! I loved seeing how the characters handled different historical events and came of age.

Some downsides were that it could be confusing in the beginning following four characters but eventually I got the hang of it. I would’ve liked it better if it switched between characters rather than having four chunks of time divided among the siblings. When you read about one sibling the others just sort of disappear, so I think it would’ve been nice to see all of them throughout the decades (but maybe then the book would’ve been way longer haha). lastly, I was really irritated by Daniel and I couldn’t wait for his part to be over.
