Book Review: Childhood by Tove Ditlevsen

A brutal, vulnerable, intensely personal and yet universal story of a little girl growing up between the world wars in Denmark. Almost a century after it was written, Ditlevsen’s story of her childhood in a poor suburb of Copenhagen is still fresh, timeless and revealing. Her childhood self is a compelling blend of raw honesty, naive tenderness and fragile curiosity.

Book Review – South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami

Hajime recalls with relish, (and we relive) his obsessive romantic fantasies. I will leave it there in terms of the plot to avoid any spoilers.
