About
He thought there would be other Sundays.
When doctoral researcher Callum Voss is asked to sort the papers of his late mentor, Professor Aldous Fenwick, he expects unfinished scholarship, old correspondence, and the slow work of putting another man's life in order.
Instead, behind a shelving unit in Fenwick's Edinburgh townhouse, he finds a room Fenwick never told him about.
The Library preserves moments that almost became something else: a letter never sent, a decision reconsidered, words left unspoken, an ordinary afternoon whose importance was understood only later.
Fenwick has left Callum more than an archive. He has left him the responsibility of keeping it.
As Callum learns what that responsibility asks of him, he begins to notice his own life differently-the dissertation he has struggled to finish, the friendships allowed to drift, and the father who still answers the phone on the third ring and keeps asking him to come home.
Every Other Time is a quiet literary novel about attention, regret, grief, and the ordinary moments we rarely recognize as important while we are still inside them.
