The Trouble with Happiness - Tove Ditlevsen Molly van Gelder all of these subjects madeIn these brief, acid sharp stories of love, marriage and family from one of Denmark's most celebrated writers, the ordinary events of everyday life a wife anxious not to wake her husband, a little boy losing his father's beloved knife, a woman's obsessive longing for a yellow silk umbrella become dark and disconcerting.
