The Trouble with Happiness: And Other Stories by Tove Ditlevsen

3.0

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.
