Happy 18th of November, otherwise known as 'On the Calculation of Volume' day! 🎉

Not only is this the day that Tara, the lead character of Solvej Balle's poetic, page-turning series is stuck on, but it's also the day that volume III hits shelves.

Every morning Tara wakes up to the 18th of November. But for everyone around her, this day is lived for the first and only time. They do not remember the other 18ths of November, and they do not believe her when she tries to explain. But despite this, Tara can't shake the feeling that somewhere underneath the surface of this day, there might just be a way to escape.

Pick up volumes I-III now wherever books are sold!
