The Anomaly

“There is one admirable thing that always surpasses knowledge, talent, and even genius: lack of understanding.” In June 2021, a senseless event shakes the lives of hundreds of men and women, all passengers on a flight from Paris to New York. Among these people are Blake, a respectable family man who is nonetheless a hitman; Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star who is tired of living a lie; the formidable lawyer Joana, who is haunted by her mistakes; and the largely unknown writer Victor Miesel, who has suddenly become a cult figure. They all thought they were living secret lives. No one imagined how true that was. A masterful novel where logic meets magic. The Deviation explores the part of ourselves that we don't understand. The Deviation was awarded the famous literary prize, the Prix Goncourt 2020!
