The anomaly / Herve Le Tellier ; translated by Adriana Hunter. - London : Michael Joseph, 2022. - 327 pages ; 24 cm.
First published in French as L'anomalie by Éditions Gallimard, Paris, 2020.
When flight Air France 006 enters a terrifying storm, the plane - inexplicably - duplicates. For every passenger on board that day, there are now two - a double with the same mind, body and memories. Just one thing sets them apart. One plane leaves the storm in March. The other doesn't land until June. For world leaders, the emergence of the June flight raises serious alarms. No science, faith, or protocol can explain this unprecedented event. But for the passengers, a bigger question is at stake. What happens to them, now that their life is shared? What happens to those who land in June, when their March doubles make decisions that will change their lives forever? And as the doubles prepare to meet, they have an extraordinary decision to make.
Translated from the French.
Winner of the Prix Goncourt, 2020.
