āRecently escaped a long, unhappy marriage ā aged 51, but youthful in spirit ā wonderful son, aged 15 ā household literary name ā summerhouse ā large flat in the city centre ā temporarily incapacitated by a nervous breakdown ā prefers a motorist.ā
Vilhelm is gone; the room where he and Lise once loved each other will soon be destroyed. When Lise places a lonely hearts advert in the newspaper, she sets off a train of tragicomic events that culminates in an annihilating, inevitable finale. Tove Ditlevsenās final novel is a masterful conclusion to a great work of writing: a blackly funny and devastating tour-de-force that pulses with life even as it journeys towards death.
