Description
They are she and her mother. They live on a Danish island, and it is the year 1981. The sixteen-year-old girl starts high school, while her mother owns a clothing and perfume shop. We perceive their everyday life through the eyes of the daughter, who experiences the small joys and sorrows of adolescence: awkward crushes, friendships, parties. However, beneath the seemingly calm flow of ordinary life, a tragedy is brewing. The extraordinarily succinctly written novel does not feel dark and depressing despite its theme, which only enhances its emotional impact. Set in a Danish small town of the 1980s, it creates an interesting period backdrop, but the exceptionally strong story of the daughter and her mother is timeless.
