The Trouble with Happiness - Tove Ditlevsen Molly van Gelder mevrouw Doom

mevrouw Doom

mischievous Uncle Pepin came to stay with the family years ago

all of these subjects made more attractive by the poetry with which he illustrates them

Een missie die telkens mislukt

Tussen de mannen groeit een ongemakkelijke vriendschap

The Trouble with Happiness - Tove Ditlevsen Molly van Gelder mevrouw DoomIn these brief, acid sharp stories of love, marriage and family from one of Denmark's most celebrated writers, the ordinary events of everyday life a wife anxious not to wake her husband, a little boy losing his father's beloved knife, a woman's obsessive longing for a yellow silk umbrella become dark and disconcerting. Here Tove Ditlevsen explores yearning, fear and the elusiveness of that strange thing called happiness.
