dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Kööpenhamina-trilogian viimeinen osa on järkyttävä, synkkä, mutta niin hyvä ja taidokas. Kerronta on jotenkin kepeää ja helppoa, vaikka kirjailija kuvaa aivan järkyttäviä ja puistattavia asioita. Näkökulma on toteava, eikä se jää kiinni turhan pitkäksi aikaa mihinkään. Tarina etenee jouten ja yllättää lukijan uudelleen ja uudelleen.

Pysäyttävän hyvä kirjasarja.

4.0

- kirjailijuus, taide, parisuhde, abortti, addiktio, kontrolli ja sen menetys
- trilogian voimakkain osa
- palautti etenkin loppupuolella samanlaisten tunteiden äärelle kuin Plathin The Bell Jar

Tove is such an eloquent, seductively candid writer... it's so difficult, challenging, upsetting, and especially eye-opening to go through her journey of marriages, children, abortions, and the addiction that hovered over all the rest of her life. It was just a book that I couldn't put down. I find it heartbreaking to read the final chapter and see how much she struggled with maintaining her own happiness, along with learning that she passed away from an overdose. Tove Ditlevsen is such a hauntingly talented author.
