Used book – Four Days in March, Jens Christian Grøndahl, Alain Gnaedig

"Are the best years always in the past? Are we responsible? These questions come to haunt Ingrid Dreyer, an architect and divorced mother, during four dramatic days, where nothing turns out to be as she believes. When her teenage son is arrested for acts of violence, when her relationship with an older, married man takes an unexpected turn, Ingrid Dreyer delves back into the memories of her solitary youth and her failed marriage, in an attempt to understand why her life is starting to resemble a dead end. Is she doomed to repeat the behaviors, obsessions, and mistakes of her mother, a woman of letters who once had her moment of glory? Are the stories of these women merely variations on the same theme and the same drama? After "Under Another Day" and "The Red Hands," Jens Christian Grøndahl offers here a new portrait of a contemporary woman, with the psychological depth and stylistic subtlety that are the hallmark of the great Danish writer." Alain Gnaedig.
