About the author

Tine Bryld (née Begstrup) was a social worker, writer, radio personality and editor of letter to the editor pages.

Tine Bryld was especially known and respected for the radio program Tværs, a live radio program where people, especially young people, could call and ask questions "on the air". She counseled young people for 36 years about anything from love troubles, sexuality to mobbing and the experiences of a divorce child. Tine Bryld also had a letter to the editor page for a number of years in the Danish women's magazine Alt for Damerne (All for the Ladies), as well as having written a number of books, of which the trilogy Liv and Alexander (1982–84) probably is the best known. Bryld also received several Danish awards.

Tine Bryld was married twice. Her first husband was historian Claus Bryld (1961–68) and her second husband was architect Arne Gaardmand (from 1975 until his death 2008).

I remember this was the first book I read and really enjoyed. I think I was about 14 years old when I read it, and yes I started reading a bit late, but yeah. Anyway, this was about a girl, who was around my age, and how she develops through the years. It was really interesting to read, and I learned about a lot of things. So yes, this was a good book to start with - and I believe that young girls can learn a lot and at the same time read a good book.

Too long since I read this, and can't promise it was actually in 1987 ... but it was in the late eighties, and Tine Bryld was the wise, caring aunt of all of Denmark's youth. She answered the phone on the line to Denmark's (only, I think?) radio program for and about young people, every Sunday night.
The book is not a masterpiece of YA fiction - but it is written with a thorough knowledge of the problems young people at the times were facing, and with a non-condescending seriousness that was rare at the time. A bit like SKAM, you could say, Tine Bryld had talked - for hours and hours, and through years - with the troubled teenagers of that time.

4⭐️Den var rigtig god og spændende. Liv har et meget, ligner det i starten, deprimeren liv og jeg synes ikke det går så godt for hende hele tiden udover til allersidst hvor det ender godt for Liv og Alexander. Jeg synes det er træls at Alexander hele tiden var i problemer og at han snakkede lidt bestemmende over for Liv. Jeg synes også det var synd for Karl/ Livs far. Men ellers synes jeg det var godt at læse noget ikke så lalleglade historier.❤️.=Dansk.

Første gang jeg læste Liv & Alexander var i 8. klasse, ('03/'04) - og jeg ELSKEDE den! Jeg læste den et par gange igen i løbet af de næste to år, men det er vidst snart på tide at få den læst igen - læste den sidste gang for 7 år siden tror jeg (Gud! Er det så længe siden?)

Anyway, som jeg husker den, var den min all-time yndlingsbog den gang, men efter jeg år den genlæst, kommer der en opdatering på 'anmeldelsen' :)

Best Danish "Young adult book" for sure.. Read it a million times when I was younger.. And cried my eyes out everytime, as you can see in my, very used, copy of this book. The last pages have water marks from all the tears I cried...

All together now: Awwwww...

En rigtig skøn trilogi, dog haltede den sidste bog lidt efter de to første.
