For March, we're doing something special at Whitelam: it's a March Book Club Mashup, where all 3 Whitelam book clubs (sci-fi/fantasy, non-fiction and fiction) are reading the same title and meeting at one mega book club meetup! Join us to discuss The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard on Thursday March 12 at 7pm.
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.
