The human body needs two hundred grams of salt to survive. The ocean needs far less to erode an island.
Three days each week, a man lives alone on Bardsey Island, off the Welsh coast. Wind, stone, tide: a place where nothing accumulates. The other four are spent in Chester, where his wife and two children wait, and a house, and the ordinary density of a shared life. The arrangement is precise. It has been measured, agreed, endured.
But erosion does not announce itself. It works without direction, without intention, without pause. In two voices, his and hers, the structure that holds a life together begins, without warning, to give.
Every Atom Leaves is a patient, atmospheric novel about distance, attention, and the quiet forces that reshape a life.
