Produktbeschreibung

A beautifully intimate novel from award-winning Danish novelist, Helle Helle

This should be written in the present tense. But it isn't.

Dorte should be at uni in Copenhagen. But she's not.

She should probably put some curtains up in her new place.

And maybe stop sleeping with her neighbour's boyfriend.

Perhaps things don't always work out the way they should.

Autorenporträt

*Nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize 2015*

'Why does one always read Helle Helle's books about the seemingly humdrum lives of lonely, sleepless women in the back of beyond with the kind of obsession normally reserved for well-turned thrillers?' Politiken
