"Trauer ist der Prozess des Sterbens in einem lebendigen Körper." Mit solchen Worten beschreibt Lotte Anders ihren sehr persönlichen Trauerprozess. Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes versucht sie in der Tiefe zu ergründen, was trauern bedeutet und wie Alleinsein gelingt nach fast vierzig Jahren Partnerschaft. Sie nimmt dabei den Leser mit auf eine nicht immer angenehme Spurensuche in ihre eigene Vergangenheit und die Verstrickungen ihrer Ehe, durch schmerzliche Erinnerungen hindurch und auf berührende Reisen. Feinfühlig gelingt es ihr, allmählich aus der Unsichtbarkeit des Witwendaseins heraus zu treten als die, die jetzt eine Andere ist. Ein Buch, dass vielleicht auch anderen Trauernden hilft, sich mit ihrem Erleben zu zeigen.
A series of interlinked short stories chronicles the world of Alice, a girl raised in Florida, who finds love with the scion of a family of Norwegian-Wisconsin farmers, her beloved Anders, and their family as they confront the joys, sorrows, and challenges of life together in Wisconsin. Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction.

Jess Ornsbo's Odysseus from Vraa is set in a modern environment with characters shorn of any heroic and mythical qualities. Set in late seventeenth century Denmark, Seven Holm's Lenora is about Lenora Christina, daughter of a Danish king and devoted wife of a traitor during her last years, coming to terms with her faith and her fate. Morning and Evening, by Astrid Saalbach, follows a group of characters through the course of a day, observing their attempts to communicate with each other in a fragmented world where not even personality is fixed, and actors can take on new roles, which are yet vaguely reminiscent of the old. The final work is Kaj Nissen's radio play, Fair Kirstin, an historical monologue spoken by a country girl who becomes the mistress of the king of Denmark.
