Prepare to be utterly captivated by this masterful trilogy from one of Denmark's most celebrated 20th-century writers. The Copenhagen Trilogy follows the gripping journey of a woman from her troubled upbringing in working-class Copenhagen to her relentless pursuit of autonomy. This brutally honest and immersive narrative delves deep into the realms of love, friendship, artistic ambition, and the perilous allure of addiction.
With razor-sharp wit and tender insight, Ditlevsen crafts a narrative that seamlessly blends heart-wrenching pathos with pitch-black humour. Her ability to pivot from hilarity to heartbreak in the blink of an eye is nothing short of remarkable. The trilogy's raw honesty and lyrical prose take readers on a harrowing expedition into the darkest corners of human experience, returning battered but eloquent.
Critics have hailed this work as 'astonishing', 'entirely revealing', and ultimately 'devastating'. Its impact is likened to a stiletto, slipping in unnoticed before unleashing its full force. Without a doubt, The Copenhagen Trilogy stands as one of the most thrilling and unforgettable literary experiences of recent times.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
