Product Description
'One of my favourite writers' OLGA RAVN, author of The Wax Child From the award-winning Danish writer: an exquisite portrait of a mother and daughter, exploring all that is said and all that is not. 'Slow your heart, slow your attention span you'll be mesmerised' Daily Telegraph 'Precise, controlled and unforgettable, they is a book that begs the reader to slow down and take notice' Guardian 'They go for a walk by the playing fields, the anemones are out.' In the small Danish town of Rødby, a mother and her sixteen-year-old daughter live uneventfully, each day marked by routine and a quiet intimacy. Together, they are a family; complete, content and fragile. When the mother begins to feel unwell, everything and nothing changes. They go about their lives, talk about anything but the diagnosis. The daughter takes tentative steps into adulthood. Still, illness and the possibility of loss cast an expansive shadow over the rituals of daily life. they is a tender and piercing exploration of a motherdaughter relationship, brought into startling focus by Helle Helle's distinctive, immediate prose. 'A marvel . . . almost unbearably poignant' Irish Times 'You laugh and laugh, cry and cry. Not bawling or sobbing, but quiet and intense. That's what its like reading Helle Helle' Politiken 'Helle's exquisite prose exposes the loveliness in the everyday; we feel the unspoken currents of feeling' BookBrunch
