Quicksand larsen novel7/8/2023 ![]() Once used to moving on, it is hard to stay in one place.įor Helga, born in an era less populated with global nomads, being the daughter of a Danish mother and a West Indian straying father seemed to be an irreconcilable and unique identity. ![]() Today it is quite common, but still disturbing, especially during adolescence, which I can confirm myself, having lived through a childhood of regular relocations, and now repeating the pattern with my own children.

Somehow, Helga Crane’s odyssey through life - from excitement to disappointment, to rebellion, break-out, and new excitement, leading to repeated disappointment - mirrors and reflects the difficulties all people face who do not completely fit into their environment. But there is so much more, touching on the universal and timeless questions of identity and meaning of life. And it would be both right and enough to make it a worthwhile reading experience. ![]() You could argue that it is a story about the peculiar hardships of young African American women of the 1920s. ![]()
