Jimmy Fallon’s Book Club Top Four Pick and a PBS Book Club Pick
For fans of Kazuo Ishiguro and Emily St. John Mandel, this “mind-bending take on time travel” (The New York Times) is about an isolated town neighbored by its own past and future, and a young girl who spots two elderly visitors from across the border: the grieving parents of the boy she loves.
Sixteen-year-old Odile vies for a coveted seat on the Conseil. If she earns the position, she’ll decide who may cross her town’s heavily guarded borders. To the east, the town is twenty years ahead in time. To the west, it’s twenty years behind. The towns repeat in an endless sequence across the wilderness.
When Odile recognizes two visitors she wasn’t supposed to see, she realizes that the parents of her friend Edme have been escorted across the border from the future, on a mourning tour, to view their son while he’s still alive in Odile’s present.
Edme—who is brilliant, funny, and the only person to truly know Odile—is going to die. Sworn to secrecy to preserve the timeline, Odile now becomes the Conseil’s top candidate. Yet she finds herself drawing closer to the doomed boy, jeopardizing her entire future.
“The Other Valley is a brilliant take on time travel and a thought-provoking exploration of the boundaries between fate and choice. Make room on your shelves, folks, this book is going to knock your socks off” (Sylvain Neuvel, author of Sleeping Giants).

Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)
It is a story about friendship, first love, loss and time travel.
If you’re living in this valley, you cannot leave. It is surrounded by a high fence which is guarded day and night. On either side of the Valley there are other valleys with a city exactly alike. If you would get to the eastern it is 20 years after now and in the western Valley, its 20 years before now. It you want to visit another valley to watch family you have lost you have to writhe a request; it is mostly denied. Our heroin spots visitors from another Valley and recognizes them as the Parents of a classmate. She realizes that he will probably die soon…. It is a story about friendship, first love, loss and time travel.
