I read half of this book and likely will leave it unfinished. As someone who lives with mental illness and has spent years working in mental health and brain injury, I could not read this with enough distance.

Halfway through and I'm undecided whether this will be an DNF. As someone with extensive personal and professional experience with mental illness, the setting of this novella is difficult to accept. Maybe such "institutions" exist in Denmark, but most people aren't so lucky. Characterizations are fine but don't make for a particularly engaging narrative. I'm a very critical reader of books that are too close to home.
