Overview
Sixteen-year-old Odile is an awkward, quiet girl vying for a coveted seat on the Conseil. If she earns the position, sheāll decide who may cross her townās heavily guarded borders. On the other side, itās the same valley, the same town. Except to the east, the town is twenty years ahead in time. To the west, itās twenty years behind. The towns repeat in an endless sequence across the wilderness.
When Odile recognizes two visitors she wasnāt 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 heās still alive in Odileās present.
Edmeāwho is brilliant, funny, and the only person to truly see Odileāis about to die. Sworn to secrecy in order to preserve the timeline, Odile now becomes the Conseilās top candidate. Yet she finds herself drawing closer to the doomed boy, imperiling her entire future.
A breathlessly moving āunique take on the intersection of fate and free willā (Nikki Erlick, author of The Measure), The Other Valley is āa stellar debut, full of heartbreak and hope wrapped up in gorgeous proseā (Christina Dalcher, author of Vox).
