Often I Am Happy

'In Danish novelist Grøndahl's stunning latest, a recently widowed seventy-year-old woman re-examines her life and past decisions . . . A compassionate and often edifying commentary on the elasticity of love, the strength it takes to move forward after a death, and the power of forgiveness.' Publishers Weekly, starred review

'Very occasionally one comes across a writer who has the power irrevocably to alter one's perspective. Jens Christian Grøndahl is one such' Scotsman

'Grøndahl's meticulous dissection of psychological nuance has won him comparisons with Marcel Proust . . . [his work is] as flickering and vivid as life itself.' Australian
