books 2017: The Year of Living Danishly, by Helen Russell
Full title: The Year of Living Danishly: My Twelve Months Unearthing the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country. Finished on 2/24/17, after starting it in December 2016 and not being able to finish it before my ebook expired and auto-returned itself to the library. I had to put myself on the waiting list to check the ebook out again, but once I got it, I finished it quickly. This actually reminded me a lot of Bringing Up Bébé, by Pamela Druckerman - both memoirs of English speaking white women trying to figure out a new life somewhere in continental Europe, I guess, both of whom end up extolling the virtues of their newly adopted cultures. Russell seems to be staying in Denmark, much like Druckerman in France, and the rest of us can try to incorporate their wisdom into our lives back at home.
