Women In Translation

August each year is Women In Translation Month, but at Nordisk Books we believe in promoting our women authors year round. That's why we have put together this selection of titles from around the Scandinavian peninsular featuring a real variety of voices and styles from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Enjoy!

Transfer Window
Maria Gerhardt
Ā£7.99 Ā£7.59I etch lines in the wall, to the left of my mattress, in order to keep track of how long I have been here. I have two rooms, and a wall covered in pictures of those I love. I have a wall covered in pictures of those I left. I had packed twenty kilos and rung for a taxi, the day I ran into an old friend, who had run into you. Actually, heād already gone past, but lingered by the window display at Illum, his eyes following you down KĆøbmagergade. He could barely recognize you, he said, his hand on my arm, he said quietly: āGrief has made its mark in her face.ā
