Description
Hafni is telling... that she is getting a divorce. She is forty-nine, leaving behind a faded family hearth, and decides to embark on a journey through restaurants that serve traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches, smørrebrød – richly topped slices of dark rye bread eaten with cutlery, which embody the essence of Danish cuisine.
Hafni's culinary journey from the island of Sjælland to the island of Funen is a radical attempt to change her established life. During her travels, she experiences mundane yet entertaining encounters with various oddballs, eccentrics, and also completely normal people. The book vividly depicts Danish mentality and culture while expressing something universally human and recognizable.
The author tells the story of an unassuming yet strong woman on the brink of a new life chapter, which contains grotesque moments, reckoning, but of course also nostalgia and sadness.
