Mirror, Shoulder, Signal

I found this book to be very sad. Sonja translates the books of an author from Swedish into Danish. She is middle age and lives somewhat reclusively in Copenhagen while her sister and parents live in Denmark. The premise of the book is that of obtaining her driver's license (Mirror - Shoulder - Signal) while dealing with a type of vertigo that attacks her periodically and which preoccupies her all the time in her attempts to avoid an occurrence. It's not clear why she wants her driver's license except that she now has the money to take the classes. She seems to want to connect with people but in social situations she seems to want to get away as soon as she arrives. She tries to connect via phone with her sister and parents but the attempts are awkward. I found Sonja so odd that I was compelled to keep reading so I could figure her out. But I couldn't. The author did seem to get into her soul and I was sorry for the decision that Sonja made in the end.
