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!
Wow, what an exciting, original blend of theory and heart. It's astonishing. I can't describe it, except to say: read it, and prepare for a whole new perspective on your own existence - and plane travel
A mind-bending, prize-winning speculative thriller
A good idea, elegantly executed
A really intriguing novel
The Anomaly is one and ten novels at once, brilliantly connecting every mystery of intimacy with the great mystery of humanity
It's a phenomenal read. I loved how it tied together. So clever yet also so gripping
Amusing, affecting, effervescent
It is intricate, ingenious, propulsive - but it is also affecting
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
