This started off great but it slowed down SO MUCH in the middle that I just couldn't bring myself to keep reading. 

I understand it's extremely hard to move to an unfamiliar place, and I can't even imagine doing that with a newborn child, but I'm 34% in and I don't think the author has said a single positive thing and I just couldn't continue. I couldn't feel close with her because she talked about all the people in her life, barring her father, a part that did truly move me, as objects. "The Dane" seems little more than a foreign entity that, based on this writing, the author doesn't seem to like much. I'm sure that's not the case, but it's what comes across. She clearly loves her child but I don't know a single thing about her, their connection, or their time together. I feel at 34% I should have learned more than:
1. Her boyfriend is Danish and blunt 
2. They have a child that is a girl 
3. She hates seemingly everything about Denmark 

I'm sorry I love travel memoirs and I was so bored 😭 I couldn't read another sentence about cockles

Blatant pedophilia, disgusting 

The MISOGYNY 

How come every surrealist book by a man uses sexism so heavily, the descriptions of women in the first like 30 pages is horrid 

I was expecting this to be more about what actually happened with Ursula, I wasn't into it.

I could tell where this was headed and I hated it 

I could not read another "but he did not know that" after every 3 sentences 

Oh no it got gross
