A young woman relocates to an outlying community in West Jutland,
Denmark, and 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. And on top of it all, there's the small matter of
juggling her roles as mother to a newborn 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.
