I thoroughly enjoyed My Year of Living Danishly. I had the pleasure of visiting Denmark and the other Scadi countries decades ago and saw things first hand. All four of the Scandinavian countries always remind me of Western Canada. There is lots of space & natural beauty.
Thanks, adding some of these to my reading list! I blew through MY YEAR OF LIVING DANISHLY this month, probably because I am so exhausted by US politics, capitalism on steroids, and underfunded social services and education. I’m desperate for stories about how things could be different!
I agree, the book was really refreshing from that perspective! Loved learning about Danish culture, but many of the chapters felt like they dragged on for me and I just wasn't staying with it.

Denmark is definitely on my list for a future trip!
