If you are a review's expert I'd be infinitely grateful for your feedback! The Year of Living Danishly The year of living Danishly is the first novel written by a British journalist and internationally bestselling author Helen Russell. Reluctantly acquiesced to her husband’s proposal to move to another country she decided to up sticks and go. Later on she came up with an idea to turn her journey into an exciting research about why Denmark is named one of the world’s happiest country? Being thrown in at the deep end together with her husband, nicknamed Legoman, Helen tries to adjust to their new reality. Even though the life in Denmark is nowhere near as hectic as in London, with every new day they face with a good few of difficulties, which arise from unknown and somewhat bizarre novelty. Instead of being smoothly blended into a new society Helen experiences a culture shock and suffers from a sense of isolation. She struggles to overcome it and inadvertently she becomes captivated by a mysterious and ubiquitous “hygge” concept. In attempt to uncover the underlying principles of it she dives into a local culture What will she choose in the end the life in quaint Denmark whether a vibrant London? This tricky question kept me intrigued up to the end. What I especially liked about this book is the writing, which is not only light and engaging but also riddled with an exquisite compilation of startling statistic. By the same token, it was easy to fly through its pages and the author’s wicked sense of humor, made the reading even more enjoyable. In the end, the book, which was haphazardly picked up in the local bookshop appeared to be a perfect choice as it gave me a pretty entertaining insight into Danish culture. So, I’d definitely recommend this book not only for those who contemplate living abroad but also for those who are in need of several good belly laughs.
