"I am always happy" Author: [Denmark] JC Gondal Publisher: Beijing United Publishing Company Original title: Tit er jeg glad

Eleanor came to the cemetery to look for an old friend - not her partner Georg who had just been buried, but Georg's ex-wife Anna, who had once been Eleanor's best friend.

They met in Copenhagen in the 1960s. Eleanor was introverted and taciturn. Only in front of Anna could she speak freely. During the holiday that year, the two couples traveled together, but encountered an avalanche in the foothills of the Alps. Anna died and Eleanor's husband disappeared. At this time, Eleanor realized that she had been betrayed twice.

Following "Silent October", Gondal, a master of writing about marriage and love, once again pierced his slender and sharp pen tip into the interior of modern life, writing a poignant fable about love and life.
