Divorce, madness and self-destruction- the unforgettable final novel from the great Danish writer
I want to write a book about Vilhelm's room and the events which took place in it, or arose from it; those that led to Lise's death, which I have survived only so that I might write down the story of her and Vilhelm...
The ripples from a breakup radiate outwards from the room where a married couple once loved each other, and a bizarre Lonely Hearts advert sets off a train of tragicomic events that lead to an inevitable conclusion. Tove Ditlevsen's final novel - published a year before her suicide in 1976 - 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.
