"I’ve been reading this with the kids. It makes me sad that kids don’t learn to recite poetry at primary school like I did when I was a child in Scotland. I wonder if it still happens there - the Burns, Blake and Stevenson?? Of course this book was not made with this hemisphere in mind, so we are following the seasons in another land and we are totally ok with that!" — 4 hours, 38 min ago

"I had the best night last night. Dinner and one of my favourite bands with a bit of time to kill in between. Wandered a local bookshop and bought this short story collection. I already know after reading the first that Ditlevsen is going to be an author I love." — Sep 18, 2026 04:57PM
