Out Today: they by Helle Helle

"One of my favorite Danish writers—she's the master."
—Olga Ravn

From one of Scandinavia's finest and best-loved novelists, Helle Helle, comes a startlingly intimate and powerful portrait about the fragile, yet irrevocable bond between a young girl and her dying mother.

Told in a splintering, multi-layered, perpetual present tense, they is an exquisite small-town portrait—oblique, calibrated, and oddly affecting—of the love between a mother and daughter, of all its attendant longing, and the inevitable letting go.
