Story4 out of 5 stars 57
Eliza Grayling, born in Sydney when the colony itself was still an infant, has lived there all her 32 years. Too tall, too stern - too old, now - for marriage, she looks out for her reclusive father, Joshua, and wonders about his past. There is a shadow there: an old enmity. When Joshua Grayling is offered the chance for a reckoning with his nemesis, Eliza is horrified. It involves a sea voyage with an uncertain, probably violent, outcome. Insanity for an elderly blind man, let alone a drunkard.

What does a young footballer do to cut loose? At night, some play what they think of as pranks or games: night games with women. Sometimes these involve consensual sex, sometimes not, and often the lines are blurred. In Night Games, Anna Krien follows the rape trial of an Australian Rules footballer. She also takes a balanced and fearless look at the dark side of footy culture - the world of Sam Newman, Ricky Nixon, Matty Johns and the Croa Sharks.

That is, until he comes across a car in traffic with a girl in the back seat. She desperately holds a written note up to the window, but what does it say?

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of the 2020 Prix Goncourt. One million copies sold. An international phenomenon.
What do you do if your life is no longer your own?
When flight Air France 006 enters a terrifying storm, the plane—inexplicably—duplicates. For every passenger on board that day, there are now two—a double with the same mind, body and memories.
Just one thing sets them apart. One plane leaves the storm in March. The other doesn't land until June. For world leaders, the emergence of the June flight raises serious alarms. No science, faith, or protocol can explain this unprecedented event.
But for the passengers, a bigger question is at stake. What happens to them, now that their life is shared? What happens to those who land in June, when their March doubles make decisions that will change their lives forever?
And as the doubles prepare to meet, they have an extraordinary decision to make.
If there are two of them, and just one life—who gets to live it?
A runaway best seller and winner of the 2020 Prix Goncourt, The Anomaly is a genre-defying, whip-smart novel that explores the very essence of who we are.

Fascinating and thought provoking
Fantastic piece of literature. I was completely caught off guard by how this book would challenge some of my beliefs about life. The kind of book I just couldn’t stop listening to.

Slow burn mind bender
Like another reviewer I’m glad I listened to the end. The story was interesting. A slow burn thriller , less action, more scientific and philosophical in equal parts. I think I needed a spreadsheet to follow the characters and all their ‘doubles’, but they were rich complex and interesting.
Overall, like any good scientific novel, I was left questioning the nature of reality, the ethics of humanity, and our place in the universe, real or not. 👍😊

Excellent concept marred by not playing to its strengths
The gentle prose in this novel makes its vignettes really pleasant to listen to, however some of them could have been avoided. Such as, Blake, easily the weakest character in the book, it was a strange choice to open on him. At its best The Anomaly is moving and emotional, nuanced in its portrayal of a wide range of characters. It’s meandering structure lends really well to this emotion. At its worst it gets bogged down in boring speculation and tired, surface level political takes, at times feeling condescendingly self righteous.

Don’t bother
The idea of this book really intrigued me so bought it…:: I wish I hadn’t wasted my money - I’m nearly 2hrs in and bored rigid. Rambling nonsense that seems to go nowhere. I don’t give up often but just can not listen any more!! Do yourselves a favor and save your money!
