Following one woman's journey from a troubled girlhood in working-class Copenhagen through her struggle to live on her own terms, The Copenhagen Trilogy is a searingly honest, utterly immersive portrayal of love, friendship, art, ambition and the terrible lure of addiction, from one of Denmark's most celebrated twentieth-century writers.
'Sharp, tough
and tender ... wrenching sadness and pitch-black comedy ...
Ditlevsen can pivot from hilarity to heartbreak in a trice' Boyd Tonkin
Spectator'Astonishing, honest, entirely revealing and, in the end,
devastating. Ditlevsen's trilogy is remarkable not only for its honesty
and lyricism; these are books that journey deep into the darkest reaches
of human experience and return, fatally wounded, but still eloquent'
Observer'The best books I have read this year.
