One of those books I guess I'm glad I read, but will definitely never read again. Captivating prose, but a decidedly grotesque and squeamish story revolving around an self-doubting 18 year old's study abroad trip to Denmark that turns into an affair with an older, racist Danish nationalist.

I may be getting older, but I definitely wanted to shake this girl. I kept thinking the story would turn more sinister than it ended up being, which was a bit disappointing?
