📱 eBook en inglés CHILDHOOD

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

The first volume in The Copenhagen Trilogy, the searing portrait of a womans journey through love, friendship, ambition and addiction, from one of Denmarks most celebrated twentieth-century writers

Tove knows she is a misfit, whose childhood is made for a completely different girl. In her working-class neighbourhood in Copenhagen, she is enthralled by her wild, red-headed friend Ruth, who initiates her into adult secrets. But Tove cannot reveal her true self to her or to anyone else. For long, mysterious words begin to crawl across my soul, and she comes to realize that she has a vocation, something unknowable within her - and that she must one day, painfully but inevitably, leave the narrow street of her childhood behind.

Childhood, the first volume in The Copenhagen Trilogy, is a visceral portrait of girlhood and female friendship, told with lyricism and vivid intensity.
