The Trouble with Happiness by Tove Dittlevsen

Tove Dittlevsen’s take on happiness is scary but also very realistic and that alone will tell you how sometimes terrifying it was to go through the pages of this book. Somehow though after having undergone the shock and sadness that each story tells comes poignant realizations about life that only a brilliant writer can achieve. This is an intense and slow read so make sure to take your time if you do decide to take it on.
