The irresistible latest novel by the renowned Danish author and creator of the Copenhagen Trilogy.

“Just out of a long, unhappy marriage – 51 years, but young at heart – a wonderful son, 15 years old – a household name in literature – summer house – spacious apartment in the city center – temporarily unable due to a nervous breakdown – prefers a driver.” Has Wilhelm left? The room where Wilhelm and Liza once loved will soon be destroyed. When Liza publishes an advertisement for lonely people in the newspaper, it triggers a chain of tragicomic events culminating in an inevitable, catastrophic ending.

Torve Ditlevsen’s latest novel is a masterful culmination of a great work of writing: a dark comedy and a moving, cohesive portrayal pulsating with life as it journeys toward death.
