Youth #2: The Copenhagen Trilogy

Forced to leave school early, Tove embarks on a checkered career in a'string of low-paying, menial jobs. But she is hungry: for poetry, for love, for real life to begin. As Europe slides into war, she must navigate exploitative bosses, a Nazi landlady, and unwelcome sexual encounters on the road to hard-won independence. Yet she remains ruthlessly determined in the pursuit of her poetic vocation—until, at last, the miracle she has always dreamed of appears to be within reach. Youth , the second volume in the Copenhagen Trilogy, is a strikingly honest and immersive portrait of adolescence, filled with biting humor, vulnerability, and poeticism.
