The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier

*PRE-ORDER THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW* WINNER OF THE PRIX GONCOURT. 920,000 COPIES SOLD. AN INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON. 'An adventure, a page turner, a bestseller, but also an experimental, highly literary work' Le Figaro Magazine One flight. One impossible event. Countless lives changed forever... Everyone on the flight that day had been leading a double life. Blake: a family man/an assassin for hire. Joanna: a formidable lawyer/an insecure woman. Slimboy: a promiscuous, straight rapper/a closeted gay man. When their flight from Paris to New York encountered a terrifying, unexpected bout of turbulence, they all feared for those lives. So upon landing safely, they are happy to put the flight behind them, and continue as normal. The events that follow, however, are anything but normal. For not one plane emerged from the storm - but two. Everyone on the flight that day thought they had been leading a double life. They were wrong - until now. And as they prepare to meet their doubles, they must ask themselves: Can you ever truly be yourself, if there are two of you? 'It's dizzying, exhilarating, brilliant!' Nicholas Carreau, Europe 1 'This novel is an exquisite, insane surprise. Quite simply astounding' Le Journal du Dimanche 'Le Tellier, throughout this flight, deposits on the tarmac his stunned reader, ready to applaud' L'Opinion 'The novel is a tour de force' Toutle La Culture.
