 Superb (but extremely short) read and the film is just gorgeous. One day I will hire myself a small house there by the sea for a week and just curl up into a blanket and watch the waves.
 
ETA: I have done just that, on numerous occasions since, and it it just as lovely as I thought it would be (so long as one steers clear of ultra religious Aalborg)
