Ole Morgensen is a Danish barrister in his mid-seventies, who has known tragedy and fortune in equal terms. Used to being in control, he now finds himself convalescing after a brain tumor operation and advocating for patients' right to choose -or refuse- treatment. Still funny, lucid and opinionated; at times, calm; other times, brutal, we witness his meticulous reexamination of past and current relationships and his attitude to life. Jealousy and reconciliation, joy and regrets, guilt and hope, revenge and love, loss and seduction, honesty and betrayal... nothing surprises him, except Cecille's reappearance and revelation.

The joy of being a child, the pains of growing up... complex feelings always prove too difficult to explain and convey because by their very nature, they are unique and belong only to us, individually.I am not famous. I am not a celebrity, but I have decided to narrate some anecdotes with the hope of providing an idea about what life was like in a country that, for many of my readers, is foreign and distant.

Only joy can spread joy. Only pain can understand pain. These tales are about emotions and feelings from which none of us, as humans, are exempt.
