In the years before the Nazis arrive, two young people growing up in Danish Jutland have dreams of leaving their frigid coastal town while coping with distant parents, eccentric family members, and the cold winds. In the aftermath of their grandfather's suicide, the arrival of puberty and most tragically, the German invasion, their idyllic childhood changes forever.
Anne Born Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Anne Born was een Britse dichteres, bekend om haar vertalingen van Scandinavische literatuur naar het Engels. Haar werk getuigt van een diepgaand begrip van zowel de Noordse cultuur als literaire kunst, waardoor ze de geest van de originele werken kon overbrengen op nieuwe lezersgroepen. Naast haar vertaalwerk droeg ze ook bij met eigen poëzie en lokale historische geschriften, wat een breed literair en onderzoeksbereik liet zien. Haar nalatenschap leeft voort door de vertalingen die Engelstalige lezers verrijken met tot voorheen minder bekende Scandinavische auteurs.
