What I like best about Tove Ditlevsen’s memoir is that it’s written without immediate judgement. The words state moments or feelings or actions as they were, just as it goes in reality. We live. We breath. We choose. And that this goes sometimes well and sometimes wrong makes the messiness of life so beautiful.
The writing is stunning to be sure, she has a way with words.
I was especially engrossed by the last book, Dependency, and the title got a whole new meaning after finishing.

“Life is funny”, he says then. “You realize it first when you’re about to lose it.”

Loved the childhood and youth parts. Incredibly well written! The dependency part took a really dark turn, so different from the childhood and youth part. Didn't like it as much because of that. Very interesting to find out though that it's an autobiography!
