"A masterpiece of the epistolary novel told in diary entries . . .
beautifully translated . . . deeply felt"--from an award-winning and
bestselling Danish novelist (Bookforum)
A penetrating study of a woman who, in the wake of her domineering
husband's death, must embrace her newfound freedom and redefine
herself
Set in rural Denmark in the early 20th century, A Change of Time tells
the story of a schoolteacher whose husband, the town doctor, has passed
away. Her subsequent diary entries form an intimate portrait of a woman
rebuilding her identity, and a small rural town whose path to modernity
echoes her own path to joyful independence.
"An engaging, honest, and beautifully written look at love, loss, and
self-realization."
