Phoebe, a trans woman living in Copenhagen, is surprised to find her ex, Grace, on her doorstep. She hasn't seen Grace since their breakup, before her transition, and must come to terms with where her new life fits within the story of her past.

It is a book of thought and ideas, and of place and belonging (Copenhagen really comes alive). Not much happens, but that's okay. Cont'd in comments...

TheKidUpstairs Emmanuel's writing is charged with wit and cleverness. Often, it unfortunately gets bogged down in its cleverness and I ended up skimming chunks. It still gets a pick because, as a debut, there is a lot of promise here, I loved Phoebe, the sense of place was excellent, and many of the ideas presented will stick with me for a long time. 7d

Virkelig god bog, som er velskrevet og indlevende. En gribende kvindelivshistorie, som viser, hvordan livet kan vise sig fra sin værste side, men samtidig indgyder håb i form af det fællesskab, der beskrives i venindekredsen.

A well written picture book based on WW2. I say roughly suitable for 7 to 9 year olds and though the topic is heavy it isn‘t too explicit about what happened during the holocaust.

A children‘s book, yes. But the first I came across when I was searching Libby for Denmark.

I‘m all out of library books till I go back…..so thought I‘d work on my reading around the world on going challenge.

Alright #hygge hour Littens, I see you! I had a vague understanding of Hygge from my use of the Calm app and mindfulness practice. I wanted to learn more about it, so I added this book to my Libby wishlist. Thanks to your recent posts, I finally read and very much enjoyed this little book. Now I understand what you all are doing! Great idea!! 😅

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. I've been to my share of world-famous museums, but for my money none are as enjoyable as the Corning Museum of Glass. I never get tired of visiting.

2. Nothing was coming to me, so had to cheat and google something.

TheSpineView I've never been to the glass museum. I've heard it is fabulous. Thanks for playing 2mo
RaeLovesToRead I loved your glass museum pictures!!!!! I want to go and visit 2mo
The_Penniless_Author @TheSpineView @RaeLovesToRead It's pretty amazing. You can barely turn around without coming across something breathtaking. Plus they constantly have demonstrations going on with both in-house apprentices and visiting artists, and you can even make your own ornaments. Best of all, the tickets are good for two days, and you can tack on admission to the Rockwell Museum of American Art that's a couple blocks away. How's that for a sales pitch? 😅 2mo
