About Childhood, Youth, Dependency

''Utterly, agonisingly compulsive ... a masterpiece'' Liz Jensen, Guardian 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. These volumes slip in like a stiletto and do their work once inside. Thrilling'' New Statesman
