The Land Of Short Sentences

A young woman relocates to an outlying community in West Jutland, Denmark, and is forced to find her way, not only in the bewildering environment of the local High School where her partner has been hired to teach, but also in the inscrutable conversational forms of the local population. And on top of it all there's the small matter of juggling her roles as mother to a newborn baby and advice columnist in the local newspaper. In this hilarious novel, Stine Pilgaard conjures a tale of venturing into uncharted land, of relationships, dilemmas, and the ways and byways of social intercourse.
