Dependency by Tove Ditlevsen

dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

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.
