THE OTHER VALLEY - SCOTT ALEXANDER HOWARD KARTO...

*Soon to be a TV series* A Goodreads Most Anticipated Fantasy  Science Fiction  and Horror Book
of 2024 Jimmy Fallon's Book Club Top Four Pick For fans of Never Let Me Go and The Giver  an
elegant and exhilarating literary speculative novel 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 is an awkward  quiet girl
vying for a coveted seat on the Conseil. If she earns the position  she'll decide who may cross
her town's heavily guarded borders. On the other side  it's the same valley  the same town.
Except 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
see Odile-is about to die. Sworn to secrecy in order to preserve the timeline  Odile now
becomes the Conseil's top candidate. Yet she finds herself drawing closer to the doomed boy 
imperiling her entire future. A breathlessly moving unique take on the intersection of fate and
free will (Nikki Erlick  author of The Measure)  The Other Valley is a stellar debut  full of
heartbreak and hope wrapped up in gorgeous prose (Christina Dalcher  author of Vox).
