Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize this is the first volume of the poetic, page-turning European masterpiece about one woman's fall through the cracks of time.
Tara Selter has slipped out of time.
It was clear that the day always returned to its starting point, but that there were also variations. It was not mechanical, there was more to it. It was the same day which kept recurring, but it was not set in stone.
Every morning, she wakes up to the 18th of November. She no longer expects to wake up to the 19th of November, and she no longer remembers the 17th of November as if it were yesterday.
She comes to know the shape of the day like the back of her hand - the grey morning light in her Paris hotel; the moment a blackbird breaks into song; her husband's surprise at seeing her return home unannounced. 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.
As Tara approaches her 365th 18th of November, she can't shake the feeling that somewhere underneath the surface of this day, there's a way to escape.

A meditative Time Loop Novel
When Tara Selter wakes up at her hotel on a November morning, she suspects nothing unusual. Increasingly, events around her seem a little too familiar until she realizes she is trapped in a time loop. Instead of a comedy about a cranky Bill Murray turning to good over a time loop, Balle develops her story procedurally. Her character's thoughts change as she has to grapple with the time loop being possibly inescapable and that she might never make her husband permanently understand her own situation. As such, we are almost completely alone with Tara's msuings about her dilemma and the occasional spontaneous conversation. This makes for a meandring, existential, and philosophical nove, big recommendation to anyone looking for a mental reset.
