Tove is only twenty, but she is already famous: a published poet and the wife of a much older literary editor. Her life path seems set. But she is unaware of the difficulties that lie ahead: love affairs, wanted and unwanted pregnancies, creative failures, and a devastating addiction.
Over the years, the main conflict in Tove’s life becomes painfully obvious: the terrible allure of addiction in all its manifestations is opposed to the opportunity to live freely and fearlessly – to be an artist on her own terms.
“Marriage” is the third book in the “Copenhagen Trilogy” and, perhaps, Ditlevsen’s masterpiece. It is a dark and strikingly honest story about addiction and the path to overcoming it.
