“Tove Ditlevsen is today cel ebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-ce ntury Danish literature, and The Copenhagen Trilogy (196 9-71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. Childhood te lls the story of a misfit child's single-minded determination to becom e a poet; Youth describes her early experiences of sex, work, and independence. Dependency picks up the sto ry as the narrator embarks on the first of her four marriages and goes on to describe her horrible descent into drug addiction, enabled by h er sinister, gaslighting doctor-husband.   ... Ditlevsen's trilog y is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a wor ld of complex female friendships, family and growing up--in this sense, it' s Copenhagen's answer to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels. … Her tri logy is drawn from her own experiences but reads like the most compell ing kind of fiction.” (Macmillan Publisher)
