Was surprised that I liked this book. Yet another book that I liked that was out of my wheelhouse. #12booksof2024 #november
I received this book for Christmas from my wish list and I wasn‘t disappointed. It is the story, told in short chapters, of the narrator‘s experience of living in temporary assisted housing for young people with mental illness. It explores themes of the uneven division of power, what it means to be mentally ill, and where does helping cross into abuse. A fascinating short novel.
I loved this book. I‘ll be making glogg this weekend to enjoy with friends while hunting for a Christmas tree in its honor.
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...
#WhereAreYouMonday I'm in Copenhagen with Phoebe and a surprise visit from her ex, Grace. So far, so wonderful.

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.
