The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind - trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time. And he makes her believe that there may be others to find within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780571383429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: Main\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 18 Nov 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 21.6(H)x13.5(L)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eSolvej Balle was born in 1962 and made her debut in 1986 with \u003ci\u003eLyrefugl \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003eLyrebird.) \u003c\/i\u003eShe went on to write one of the 1990s' most acclaimed works of Danish literature, \u003ci\u003eIfølge loven\u003c\/i\u003e (1993) ('According to the Law: Four Accounts of Mankind', translated by Barbara Haveland.) \u003ci\u003eOn Calculation of Volume\u003c\/i\u003e is Solvej Balle's return to literary stardom after nearly 30 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Russell and Sophia Hersi Smith are translators from the Danish based in Copenhagen.
