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.

Buckle your seatbelts, as Hervé le Tellier takes you on an extraordinary ride. You won't want to put this book down until the very last page!

Leïla Slimani, author of Lullaby, winner of the 2016 Prix Goncourt
