MY MOTHER SAYS - STINE PILGAARD KARTONIERT (TB)

Reeling from a breakup  a young Danish woman recovers her sense of self through conversations
with parents  friends  and strangers. A sweet and quirky debut about heartbreak  memory  and
the endless potential of language.” ―Kirkus Reviews The narrator’s long-term girlfriend has
just broken things off  forcing her to move back in with her father  a Pink Floyd–loving
priest. While she desperately tries to convince her girlfriend to reconsider  the rest of the
world bombards her with advice: from her childhood friend Mulle to her kindly therapist to her
overbearing mother and card-playing father. Bumbling through the fog of disillusionment  the
narrator gives herself permission to grieve  philosophize  and be generally outrageous until at
last she sees a light at the end of the tunnel. My Mother Says is a compendium of conversations
between people who talk past one another in a universe of misplaced good intentions. In this
whirlwind of memories  confessions  temper tantrums  and declarations of love Pilgaard’s sheer
affection for her characters turns the pain of a broken heart into a heartwarming comedy of
errors.
