About the book

A young woman relocates to an outlying community in West Jutland, Denmark. There, she is forced to find her way, not only in the bewildering environment of the residential Folk High School, where her partner has been hired to teach, but also in the inscrutable conversational forms of the local population. On top of it all, there's the small matter of juggling her roles as mother to a new-born baby and advice columnist in the local newspaper. In this understated and hilarious novel, Stine Pilgaard conjures a tale of venturing into new and uncharted land, of human relationships, dilemmas and the ways and byways of social intercourse.
