A runaway bestseller, and the winner of France's most prestigious literary prize, The Anomaly is the bestselling international sensation that asks - What would you do, if there were two of you? When Air France flight 006 departed from Paris, the route to New York was just as it had always been. The skies were clear. The passengers were safe. Everything was going to plan.Until the event that would change everything. Amidst terrifying turbulence, the plane - somehow - was doubled. For every one person on board that day, there were now two. A double with the same body, the same mind, the same memories.When it's time for the doubles to meet, they must confront their extraordinary fate. And only one thing is certain- life as they know it, will never be the same.

"A really intriguing novel." —John Boyne

"This high-concept SF thriller is enormous fun: a French prize winner spiced with Oulipian theory and literary in-jokes, riddling away at existential questions in the guise of a breakneck page-turner." —Guardian

"An extraordinary mix of existential thriller and speculative fiction. Questions of philosophy, mathematics and astrophysics bend this novel far from the typical mold, and Le Tellier's characters must confront the deepest questions of existence. This thought-provoking literary work deserves a wide readership." —Publishers Weekly

"A delightfully confounding thriller. Le Tellier's prose is beautifully efficient and capable of quiet devastation." —London Review of Books
