Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments The Dangerous Age, Karin Michaëlis, translated from Danish (translator unknown), 1910, Denmark, NOVEL

"...At forty-two, approaching that "dangerous age" and determined to eliminate the hypocrisy in her life, Elsie divorces her husband, leaves behind a young potential lover, and retreats to an isolated villa on an island...Her moods and desires constantly shift as she searches for self in the midst of societal expectations; as a result, her letters and diary are complicated and contradictory..."

(E.B., p. 109)
