Excerpt from Ditte, Daughter of Man
It was indeed distant - no doubt about that; and he only mentioned it as a sort of consolation - for want of something better. Lars Peter knew only too well what relationship is worth when you're the under-dog. And Ditte wasn't such a fool either.

This book delves into the life of a young girl navigating the complexities of poverty, family, and societal expectations in early 20th-century rural Denmark.

Ditte's story unfolds against the backdrop of a changing Denmark, where traditional agrarian life clashes with the encroaching influences of modernity.
