I really enjoyed these short stories, now I am on a Tove Ditlevesen quest. A lot of the stories were kind of similar, but I thought her insight into mid-century white women’s life was probably right on target, I’ll have to ask my mom!

I find it hard to review The Trouble with Happiness because it's so freaking depressing. Parents hate their kids, children resent the parents. Husbands cheat, women are pathetic. I suppose perhaps this is real life, but god, I don't want to read about it.

That being said, it is sharply written, evocative, quite beautiful and at points I even found myself empathising with the characters.

Don't read if you're at all depressed.

So cutting, but lots of very short stories that are completely depressing. Very put down-able.
