ABOUT THE BOOK

The fifth volume of the word-of-mouth sensation, as Tara marks more than a decade in the eighteenth of November.

Tara Selter has become someone new. She has returned to Thomas, but she is no longer the person he remembers: she has spent twelve years in the eighteenth of November, while he has endlessly repeated his identical day, and he struggles to reconcile the Tara he loves with the woman she has become.

And so she rejoins her friends, with whom she finds companionship and understanding. Together they set off for Val Benoît, where other time-stranded people have built a community founded on curiosity, conversation and even optimism. As the eighteenth of November keeps expanding, Tara’s ties to those around her deepen, and a life beyond Thomas comes unexpectedly into view.
