Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

'Utterly, agonisingly compulsive ... a masterpiece' Liz Jensen, Guardian

'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

Wonderful, engaging, affecting, grey and melancholic. This book left the same feelings as after "A Little life" by Hanya Yanagihara. Most impressions on the writer's experiences were collected by her own at the end of her life. Narrator worth additional praise - melancholic voice, rhythm reinforces author's words and atmosphere, also these Danish pronunciations - brings nearer and gives depths of Copenhagen and danish life. A pleasure to listen both: author's words in narrator's voice. Thank you!

How dreary, it seems unbelievable that someone with so little to say has created a 3 part drama recording the dull events of her life. The lack of compassion or commitment in relationships is echoed by the narrator’s dispassionate voice.
