Beautiful capturing of the banality of life. My favorites were "Queen of the Night" and the titular story.

The Trouble With Happiness by Tove Ditlevsen is a good short story collection! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator Stine Wintlev was excellent. Since maybe of the stories featured female main characters Stine’s narration felt very authentic. I liked how several of the stories had similar themes of marriage, working class and the disparity between women and men. I wish NetGalley would include the chapter titles in their audiobook app. My fave story was Umbrella. I wonder about the deeper meaning to that story. I really enjoyed reading this translated book and I loved that this was my first short story audiobook!
