📱 eBook en inglés YOUTH

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

The second 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

Forced to leave school early, Tove embarks on a chequered career in a string of low-paid, menial jobs. But she is hungry: for poetry, for love, for real life to begin. As Europe slides into war, she must navigate exploitative bosses, a Nazi landlady and unwelcome sexual encounters on the road to hard-won independence. Yet she remains ruthlessly determined in the pursuit of her poetic vocation - until at last the miracle she has always dreamed of appears to be within reach.

Youth, the second volume in The Copenhagen Trilogy, is a strikingly honest and immersive portrait of adolescence, filled with biting humour, vulnerability and poeticism.
