Description - The Trouble with Happiness: and Other Stories by Tove Ditlevsen
A shimmering collection of stories from the author of The Copenhagen Trilogy, translated into English for the first time
A newly married woman longs, irrationally, for a silk umbrella; a husband chases away his wife's beloved cat; a betrayed mother impulsively sacks her housekeeper. Underneath the surface of these precisely observed tales of love, marriage and family life in mid-century Copenhagen pulse currents of desire, violence and despair, as women and men dream of escaping their conventional roles and finding freedom and happiness - without ever truly understanding what that might mean.
