 About The Metal Girl
A Literary NovelDuring the dreary month of March in Copenhagen in the early 1970s, a 25-year-old American woman travels on a solitary quest to become, in her mind, a "woman-of-the-world." In fact, she is lost, adrift, dislocated, not only from familiar surroundings but from her innermost being. As she wryly observes, "Perhaps it was those outdated expressions that got me into trouble. It was the era of rising feminist consciousness, but my mind had not yet caught up to my age and my consciousness was not the part of me that was rising up that winter."
What does rise up is a healthy libido, an intuitive search for the self, and an ardent investigation of the eternal mystery of human "coupling and uncoupling". On her travels across Copenhagen to discover "life experiences", she meets an ensemble of memorable and somewhat eccentric new acquaintances. (For a full synopsis see here.) www.judysandra.com
 Hygge Bakery is the most authentic Danish bakery in the U.S. Share the comraderie and enjoy the sweet delights of Spandauer pastry, Kringle Bars and chocolate buns from Danish celebrity baker Henrik Gram.
"Hygge" (HOO-geh) is a Danish word and cultural quality that is much admired. Wikipedia says, " Hygge is a complete absence of anything annoying, irritating, or emotionally overwhelming, and the presence of and pleasure from comforting, gentle, and soothing things."
...like a good book, good people, and great pastries! So please come and help make this a truly hyggelig afternoon!
