Evy shakes her coat and the snow falls down on the marble in lumps. She smiles at the doorman who smiles back and quickly walks over to meet her.
“You’ve received a letter.”
His smile gets bigger.
“It’s from Italy, from Tuscany. Doesn’t that sound wonderful on a day like this?”
Evy stops and reaches out for the letter.
“Imagine sitting there with a glass of wine.”
The doorman’s eyes are far away and Evy takes the letter from his hand.
“Thank you.”
She smiles again and walks over to the elevator. While she waits, she carefully opens the letter. The elevator doors open, but she doesn’t enter.
“Is there something wrong?”
She doesn’t notice the doorman’s voice until he’s standing next to her.
“Is there something wrong?”
He looks at her briefly and then down at the letter.
“A sculpture. And so big. Where are you going to put that?”
Evy looks up at him.
“Nowhere. Can you get me a plane ticket for Tuscany tonight?”
“Of course. I’ll make the call right away.”

“Now picture a silent room, a heartbeat, a suppressed breath, fingers tapping away on a keyboard, words finding their right place in the sequence, creating a bubble of reality: the coming book.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tina Lindegaard was born in 1963 when the world lost its innocence with the murder of John F. Kennedy, and when a song became the symbol of one man’s dream that became the dream of thousands.
Tina Lindegaard was born in a provincial town in Denmark and spent her first 20 years in a small town where nature was never far away. She moved to Copenhagen, which is still her home. Her character is formed by the natural surroundings of her childhood, and a busy career that has not always been in tune with her upbringing. These contrasts have created a field of tension with lots of room for creativity, and formed a multi-faceted view of human nature.
