Blue Sunset

By Denise Rose Hansen

A slim and radiant debut novel about the obliquity of grief on the edge of new life, with echoes of Albert Camus and Virginia Woolf.

At a conference somewhere in Europe, Maja meets the Author. Haunted by a recent tragedy, she leaves with him unexpectedly, following him to his home on the Amalfi coast where she stays for a time, wandering into the rhythms of his life, observing the Italian landscape through the lens of his days. Yet everywhere over this new and tender intimacy hangs the knowledge that soon she will have to return home to Copenhagen, site of her devastating loss.

A penetrating new voice among contemporary Danish innovators like Olga Ravn and Solveig Balle, Denise Rose Hansen paints with spare, deft lyricism a whole world of grief and yearning.
