The fortune teller on Hester Street tells each young Gold child the date he or she will die, and the author links each character to the next oldest sibling from the previous death. The story structure is clever and the picturesque detail good, but the detached imagery and first segment sex are overwritten. The protagonist is really second youngest Klara, the magician, and I don’t know why the author gave up the fascinating crime plot of the second and third segments, except to elevate form.
