'One of Denmark's most celebrated writers' New Statesman From the
acclaimed author of the Copenhagen Trilogy, a searing, haunting
novel of a woman on the edge, portrayed with all the vividness of
lived experience. Copenhagen, 1968. Lise, a children's book writer
and married mother of three, is increasingly haunted by disembodied
faces and voices. She is convinced that her husband, already
extravagantly unfaithful, will leave her. Most of all, she is
scared that she will never write again. Yet as she descends into a
world of pills and hospitals, she begins to wonder, is insanity
really something to be feared, or does it bring a kind of freedom?
'Ditlevsen explores the surprising contours of Lise's experience:
from her point of view, madness can be funny, soft and secure, and
far more enlightening than the "reality" it struggles to evade' The
New York Times Translated by Tiina Nunnally
