Dark Danish tale should put author on the map
Readers need not feel overwhelmed by such scale, though: the links, apart from the location, are subliminal. Each volume is representative of a season in the Danish capital and, with no crossover characters, can and must be read as a stand-alone novel.
Falling Sideways takes us inside the fraught arena of a major Danish company, known only as the Tank. Every Wednesday at 9am sharp, the ‘mumble club’ assembles; four men and two women huddling to assess the market, the business, and to discuss ways of increasing growth or at least slowing the decline. And it is here that we find the main players in our story.
