Resumen del Editor
*Soon to be a TV series*
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 “thought-provoking exploration of ethics, power, love, and time travel” (Kirkus Reviews).

Historia
Aubry Tourvel, a stubborn nine-year-old girl, comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She tosses it over the fence, only to find it in her backpack that evening. Days later, at the family dinner table, she starts to bleed to death. When medical treatment only makes her worse, she flees to the outskirts of the city, where she realizes that it is this very act of movement that keeps her alive. So begins her lifelong journey on the run from her condition, which won’t allow her to stay anywhere for longer than a few days—nor return to a place where she’s already been.

Historia
In 1895, Antonio Sonoro is the latest in a long line of ruthless men. He’s good with his gun and drawn to trouble but he’s also out of money and out of options. A drought has ravaged the town of Dorado, Mexico, where he lives with his wife and children, and so when he hears about a train laden with gold and other treasures, he sets off for Houston to rob it—with his younger brother Hugo in tow. But when the heist goes awry and Hugo is killed by the Texas Rangers, Antonio finds himself launched into a quest for revenge that endangers not only his life and his family, but his eternal soul.

Historia
Written with a “formal playfulness [that] suggests Kundera with A.D.D.” (Village Voice), Georgi Gospodinov’s The Physics of Sorrow became an underground cult classic upon its 2012 release. In a radical reimagining of the minotaur myth, a narrator named Georgi meanders through the past to find the melancholy child at the center of it all. Spanning from antiquity to the Anthropocene, he catalogs curious instances of abandonment, recounts scenes of a turbulent boyhood in 1970s Bulgari.

Historia
In the last years of the dying Qing Empire, a courtesan is found frozen in a doorway. Her death is clouded by rumors of foxes, which are believed to lure people by transforming themselves into beautiful women and handsome men. Bao, a detective with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman’s identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they’ve remained tantalizingly out of reach—until, perhaps, now.

Historia
It's 1990 in London and Tom Hargreaves has it all: a burgeoning career as a reporter, fierce ambition and a brisk disregard for the "peasants"—ordinary people, his readers, easy tabloid fodder. His star seems set to rise when he stumbles across a sensational scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents beloved across the neighborhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and “bad apples”: the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances.

It’s 1995, and Alex Dean has it all: a spot at Cambridge University next year, the love of an amazing woman named Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost from his past sees him beaten, battered and almost drowning in the Thames. He wakes the next day to find he’s in a messy, derelict room he’s never seen before, in grimy clothes he doesn’t recognize, with no idea of how he got there. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he’s older—much older—and has been living a hard life, his features ravaged by time and poor decisions.

An enormous snow-covered mountain has appeared in the Pacific Ocean. No one knows when exactly it showed up, precisely how big it might be, or how to explain its existence. When Harold Tunmore is contacted by a shadowy organization to help investigate, he has no idea what he is getting into as he and his team set out for the mountain. The higher Harold’s team ascends, the less things make sense. Time moves differently, turning minutes into hours, and hours into days.

Raffi works in an observational cosmology lab, searching for dark matter and trying to hide how little they understand their own research. Every chance they get, they escape to see Britt, a queer sculptor who fascinates them for reasons they also don’t—or won’t—understand. As Raffi’s carefully constructed life begins to collapse, they become increasingly fixated on the multiverse and the idea that somewhere, there might be a universe where they mean as much to Britt as she does to them…and just like that, Raffi and Britt are thirteen years old, best friends and maybe something more.

awesome read, considering the first book by a philosophy professor, I loved the plot, ending and all the characters a lot. enjoyed every bit of it.
the narrator's voice is too raspy and at some point I feel like clearing my own throat 😕 strange, I know!

The unique premise, philosophical themes, and compelling storytelling.
Fans of speculative fiction will be enthralled by this captivating tale set in this French-influenced lake town nestled between two versions of itself, one 20 years in the past and the other 20 years in the future.
In the story, you are only able to visit the past for bereavement purposes. This raises thought-provoking philosophical questions about the consequences of altering the past and its impact on the future. Through the eyes of a 16-year-old female protagonist, the story delves into complex moral dilemmas when she encounters visitors from the future on a bereavement visit. The beautiful and poetic writing style adds depth to the narrative as the protagonist grapples with whether to intervene or stay silent.
Part 2 of the book ramped up the tension, keeping me on the edge of my seat. The surprising yet satisfying ending ties up the story in a way that makes the stressful journey worthwhile.
I highly recommend this book for its unique premise, philosophical themes, and compelling storytelling.

Referred by Jimmy Fallon
This was one of the books that didn’t make it but I voted for it and wanted to read lol or listen to it.
Amazing concept of being able to go forward or backward in time by crossing a barrier somewhat like the demilitarized zone between N and S Korea.
The author does an excellent job navigating the coulda woulda shoulda of the character’s lives.

Story is fantastic! Don't waste your time on the audio. The narrator whispers the whole story and accents words to the point that you can't understand some of what she's saying.

Good story, narrator not so good
I found the story compelling and had to keep listening but the narrator was not right for the content- too quiet and timid especially when the story or dialogue required emotion. In hindsight I would have read it rather than listen to it.

Loved this book! Immediately read it again!
Suspenseful. Thought provoking. Relatable characters.
Imagine the possibilities and consequences of a world where you could just take a peek forward or backward in time with a good enough reason.
This book had me asking myself all kinds of hypothetical questions and dissecting the details of infinite scenarios of how things might change.
Is it worth the risk?
