"I finished your book in two glorious hours...I truly loved it...know that I think it is a quite beautifully crafted work, and you - and Mus, despite her understandable embarrassment at all that youthful intimacies you reveal - should be enormously proud of it."WORDS OF PRAISE FROM SIMON WINCHESTER, author of THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMANA coming-of-age story of a young writer who moves to Copenhagen to write a novel and pursue women, only to find the move becomes a mirror on his own failures and insecurities. Told through a narrative written at the time and an exchange of letters with his mother and a cast of eccentric friends, all found in the author's garage fifty years after the events, the book reflects on a different time. And just as the angst that has almost destroyed the author begins to recede, a blond-haired angel enters his life to change it forever.
