challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

I recently read Ditlevsen’s memoirs, The Copenhagen Trilogy, and found that my enjoyment of these short stories was enhanced by the context of her own life. 

These stories are all very dark, grim, and depressing in tone and I loved it.  I’m so enamored with her use of words and language.
