Childhood, Youth, Dependency

I love this book! I haven't been able to finish it yet because of a temporary eye problem, but I will devour the last third of it when I can. What I like about it is that it not only tells the story of the individual, but it incorporated so many elements of the country(in this case Denmark) and cities in which she lived. I am a writer, and learning about her journey from a child to published author was interesting. In some ways our journeys were alike, in others different.

De forma simples a autora transita entre sua infância e juventude até chegar em sua vida adulta, repleta de relacionamentos fracassados, sucesso como escritora e vicio em medicamentos. A passagem de tempo é sutil e não há grandes reviravoltas, porém é uma leitura agradável, apesar de ser uma história triste.

A page turner. Honest, clearly written, easy to read.

Great read esp for a book club.

A very interesting account of one women's life in Denmark. She demonstrates a wonderful storytelling framework of her life from growing up, literary life, relationships, motherhood and drug dependency. All interesting and unique.
