Over de Berekening van Volume III

The third volume in the Booker-shortlisted series about a woman lost in time follows Tara Selter as she discovers a break in the pattern: she has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times. A man, Henry Dale, remembers all preceding days and the moment the time fault emerged. They meet in a shared perplexity and, for the first time, two people are bound by the same looping present. Tara discovers she is no longer the person she was before the fault, and Henry helps her see that others may exist within this fractured chronology. Together they face the disintegrating world and the possibility that time may never return to its former course, while learning to navigate their changed identities and intertwined fates. The book is noted as a New York Times notable book of 2025 and is part of Solvej Balle’s On the Calculation of Volume series, published by Faber & Faber.

Tara and Henry’s partnership deepens as they confront the persistence of the loop and the question of whether there are others like them. The narrative intertwines memory, time, and identity, exploring how love and resilience can emerge when the rules of reality aren’t reliable.
