Mirror, Shoulder, Signal, Dorthe Nors, tr. Misha Hoekstra

Lovable feels like the wrong word for this novel, which is about an anxious and rather beset-upon 40-something-year-old woman who is taking driving lessons, and enjoyable isn’t quite it either, because it is mostly a minute recounting of the small humiliations, petty misogynies, and various unpleasantries about being an older woman in the world today. But I liked and appreciated this book.
