Reviews with content warning for Drug use - Trylogia kopenhaska

Prawdziwość, naturalność w tej opowieści jest dobijająco surowa, opowiedziana prawie jakby to była trzecia osoba obserwująca historię, ale to narratorka ma duży dystans do swojego życia. Bardzo smutna historia, ale potrzebna i ponadczasowa

dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

Let's start by me admitting that I hadn't read anything written by Ditlevsen again, and I didn't know what to expect when I started this book. In it, I eventually found an engaging prose that wouldn't allow me to stop reading even though the narrative itself brought me to tears more than once.

Tove Ditlevsen narrates her personal life; from a daughter in a low-income household in 1930's, to a well-known voice of Denmark's literary world and everything in between.

The book is split into three parts: the first one covers her childhood, the second one her teenage and early adulthood years, and her third one her turbulent years as a writer and a wife in four very different marriages. Especially the last part is both fascinating and very heart wrenching at parts.
