'So clear is Ditlevsen's eye that it is impossible to tear yourself
away' John Self, Guardian An unforgettable collection of stories
from the author of The Copenhagen Trilogy 'The most important thing
is probably always precisely the thing you can't have. That's where
all the happiness is' In these brief, acid-sharp stories of love,
marriage and family from one of Denmark's most celebrated writers,
the ordinary events of everyday life - a wife anxious not to wake
her husband, a little boy losing his father's beloved knife, a
woman's obsessive longing for a yellow silk umbrella - become dark
and disconcerting. Here Tove Ditlevsen explores yearning, fear and
the elusiveness of that strange thing called happiness. 'The purity
and dazzling insight of Ditlevsen's writing speaks for itself'
Daily Telegraph 'Authentic, unforced and utterly lucid' Sunday
Times 'Ditlevsen's wonderful and devastatingly bleak short stories
simmer with melancholy and despair' Daily Mail Translated by
Michael Favala Goldman
