A magnificent novel of world literature, the life of the young, vivacious Ditte is under threat. Stigmatized by the mark of being an outcast and homelessness, she succumbs to a cycle of poverty, humiliation, and hopelessness. In her fate, the Danish novelist portrays the journey of a strong young woman who is ultimately destroyed by the inhumanity of her environment. This is literature that moves without embellishment, reaching the heart without offending the mind.
