What is this book about?

A Boeing flying from Paris to New York passes through a violent storm and lands safely. Three months later a second storm forms, and the very same aircraft emerges from it again. The plane appears to have been duplicated, and every one of its passengers now exists twice. The novel is built in three parts, each titled with a line from the poet Raymond Queneau, and its first fifty chapters are organised around the two landing dates, 10 March and 24 June 2021.
