About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A newly married woman longs, irrationally, for a silk umbrella; a husband chases away his wife's beloved cat; a betrayed mother impulsively sacks her housekeeper. Underneath the surface of these precisely observed tales of love, marriage and family life in mid-century Copenhagen pulse currents of desire, violence and despair, as women and men dream of escaping their conventional roles and finding freedom and happiness - without ever truly understanding what that might mean.

Critic Reviews
Ditlevsen's writing is crystal clear and vividly, painfully raw
A terrifying talent
Her writing is incredible, so focused and clear. Not a word that doesn't need to be there (Tracey Thorn)
A beautifully written, resilient and relatable chronicle for the marginalized' (praise for Childhood, Youth, Dependency) (Patti Smith)
Utterly, agonisingly compulsive . . . A masterpiece' (praise for Childhood, Youth, Dependency)
