(Drivebycuriosity) - An anomaly is something extremely rare or unique, something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. The novel "The Anomaly" by French author Hervé Le Tellier describes a very freakish incident which changed radically not only the lives of many people it also caused a global upheavel (this is a spoiler free blog amazon.).
The novel, a piece of speculative fiction, develops in short chapters and follows a row of people who have nothing in common with each other in the beginning. "The Anomaly" is partly a thriller with scifi elements (but not really based on science).
The plot reminds me a bit of the TV show "Lost" even though the story is very different. The early parts are well developed and kept me on the edge, but later the plot got a little bit tedious. The story became a bit surrealist - like absurd theater - and got soaked with psychology, religion, philosophy & metaphysical ideas. Anyway, the book is a pleasant beach reading.
