Companions, Paperback / softback Book

Companions Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Camilla, Charles, Alma, Edward, Alwilda and Kristian are a circle of friends hurtling through mid-life.

Structured as a series of monologues jumping from one friend to the next, Companions follows their loves, ambitions, pains and anxieties as they age, fall sick, have affairs, grieve, host dinner parties and move between the Lake District, Berlin, Lisbon, Belgrade, Mozambique, New York and, of course, Denmark.

In her first book to be translated into English, Christina Hesselholdt explores everyday life, the weight of the past and the difficulty of intimacy in a uniquely playful and experimental style.

At once deeply comic and remarkably insightful, Companions is an exhilarating portrait of life in the twenty-first century.
