'One of Denmark's most celebrated writers' New StatesmanFrom 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 TimesTranslated by Tiina Nunnally
