Forced to leave school early, Tove embarks on a varied career in a series of low-paying, unglamorous jobs. But she longs for more: poetry, love, the moment when life will finally begin for real. As Europe descends into war, she must overcome exploitative bosses, a Nazi mistress, and unwanted sexual encounters on her path to independence. But she relentlessly pursues her poetic calling until the miracle she has always dreamed of becomes a reality. Youth, the second book in the Copenhagen Trilogy, is a strikingly honest and captivating portrait of youth, full of sharp humor, vulnerability, and poetry.
