The most important, in my own mind, the one about Gorm - a way for myself do deal with the fact that the Norwegian tax-rules for people who try to start businesses of their own actually can destroy a person financially for the rest of their lives. This does some very unsettling things to their self-worth, and ultimately their whole existence.
The other two about Madelen were somewhat lighter - I think it might spoil the book to get deeper into that here.
Somehow these merged in my mind and over the course of a year became a novel I am quite proud of.(less)

“I've got a bad case of the 3:00 am guilts - you know, when you lie in bed awake and replay all those things you didn't do right? Because, as we all know, nothing solves insomnia like a nice warm glass of regret, depression and self-loathing.”
