This is a collection resplendent with longing. In these compact
pages, people meet without actually connecting, travellers set off
but never seem to find home. We meet them on the fjords of Norway,
in the bustle of Los Angeles, and among the lights of Copenhagen.
Outsiders yearn to be on the inside, insiders are desperate to be
free. A writer befriends an ex-lover's mother. An elderly man
offers his body to aging women. A woman's childhood memories of
wild swimming draw her back to the water. In prose that is both
elegantly spare and saturated with emotion, Dorthe Nors shines a
light into forgotten corners and conjures darkness where it's least
expected. Her characteristic sharpness and sense of humour is
ever-present, catching us when the melancholy threatens to come too
close. Love, cruelty, friendship, and loneliness are all here, in
these stories that brim with life.
