Description
“Meter i sekundet” – A Danish Story About a New Life!
A tale of a woman trying to find herself in a place that seems to speak a different language – both literally and figuratively.
In Meter i sekundet, we meet a young mother who leaves Copenhagen to accompany her partner to his new job in the countryside. The small town has its own rules, dialect, and pace of life. The heroine struggles to adapt to this new world – deciphering the locals’ short sentences and long pauses, writing a heart-advice column, and… making clumsy attempts to pass her driving test.
Witty dialogues, original characters, as well as lyrical passages about everyday life and relationships create a unique atmosphere in this book. With great sensitivity, Pilgaard portrays both the difficulties and the beauty of integrating into a new community. Meter i sekundet is a story about feeling out of place, about the search for belonging, and about how, little by little, one can become part of something greater.
A perfect summer read from the Danish countryside. Humor and satire on society cultivated in a small-town microcosm.
