'Astonishingly brilliant. My book of the year.' Liz Nugent, Sunday
Times-bestselling author of Strange Sally DiamondFor fans of Emily
St John Mandel and Kazuo Ishiguro, an exhilarating novel about an
isolated town neighboured by its own past and future, and a young
girl who faces an impossible choice... Would you sacrifice the
future for love?Sixteen-year-old Odile vies for a coveted seat on
an elite council that decides 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 top candidate.Yet
she finds herself drawing closer to the doomed boy, jeopardizing
the future and her place in it.
