Amáliina nehybnost

Seven years in the life of Amálie, a magazine editor well read in all the arts and schools of thought, who loves the mountains and Japan. In her dreams her mother sits at the wheel, Amálie in the passenger seat, and the ride regularly ends in disaster. She is long past childhood, forty-two, yet seems unable to take the wheel herself, to establish herself as a partner and mother, though she wants to. As her chances of having a child slip away, she seeks a way out in therapy, while her sharp eye follows a list of men that begins as crucial, turns embarrassing and ends as comic. In the end it is a book about the role parents play in their children's adult lives.
