Grief between Copenhagen and the Italian coast

Maja’s recent tragedy shapes a story of temporary departure and unsettled return. After meeting an unnamed Author at a conference somewhere in Europe, she goes with him to his home on the Italian coast, where she observes the patterns of his life while a new intimacy takes shape. Copenhagen remains the place she must return to, and the site of her loss. The novel’s central tension lies in that crossing between grief and the possibility of something new, with its coastal setting and Maja’s close attention to another person’s daily rhythms framing her uncertain passage forward.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in fiction about bereavement and the possibility of new beginnings

Book overview

A slim and radiant debut novel about the obliquity of grief on the edge of new life, with echoes of Albert Camus and Virginia Woolf.

At a conference somewhere in Europe, Maja meets the Author. Haunted by a recent tragedy, she leaves with him unexpectedly to his home on the Italian coast, where she wanders into the rhythms of his life, observing the world through the lens of his days. Yet everywhere over their new and tender intimacy hangs the knowledge that soon she will have to return home to Copenhagen, site of her devastating loss. With echoes of Virginia Woolf and Ann Quin, Denise Rose Hansen paints with spare, deft lyricism the complicated landscape of grief and yearning that Maja crosses over on her journey toward something new.
