Críticas
This atmosphere of nonchalance, of indifference, of cracked glass, is the signature atmosphere of Jens Christian Grondahl . . . Often I Am Happy is [among Grondahl's works] one of the most condensed, most suffused with grief and mixed beauty . . . His characters, so perfectly drawn, nevertheless thrive only as they disappear. The real, in the work of this great novelist, also has about it something of the haziness of memory. * Livres Hebdo * In Danish novelist Grondahl's stunning latest, a recently widowed 70-year-old woman reexamines her life and past decisions . . . A compassionate and often edifying commentary on the elasticity of love, the strength it takes to move forward after a death, and the power of forgiveness. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
