«Chienne de vie» is the novel by Helle Helle, published by Le Serpent à Plumes in paperback (230 pages, in French).
Bente abandons everything and ends up in a remote place in Denmark; Johnny and Cocotte find her at a bus stop and take her in. A shared life takes shape among them, in which the narrative explores the arrival of a writer into the lives of her characters, with the intimate tone, the attentive eye for small gestures and the everyday humor typical of Helle Helle.
This French-language edition, translated by Catherine Lise Dubost, is based on the Danish original «Eksempel på liv» (1993).
For readers looking for intimate Nordic fiction, with subtle humor and characters from everyday life.
