Episode Description:
Join the PBS Books Readers Club as we plumb the depths of Scott Alexander Howard’s debut novel, "The Other Valley". Fans of the PBS series "A Brief History Of The Future" and books like "Never Let Me Go" and "The Giver" will enjoy this book about an isolated town neighbored by its own past and future. "The Other Valley" tells the story of Odile, an awkward, quiet girl vying for a coveted seat on the Conseil. If she earns the position, she’ll decide who may cross her town’s heavily guarded borders. On the other side, it’s the same valley, the same town. Except 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. This thrilling page-turner will make readers ask the question: would you want to know your future if you could? And what would you risk to change it? "The Other Valley" is a Simon & Schuster Top Shelf Pick, a Goodreads Most Anticipated Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror Book of 2024, and is soon to be a TV series. So don’t miss this chance to join the PBS Books Readers Club in conversation with Scott Alexander Howard about this pick that Booklist calls “Beautifully written… a triumph.”
