Inga loses her elder brother, quits her job and becomes inadvertently responsible for the death of a cat. Inga's brother could call her and say that he was sick, and that she was not allowed to contact the doctor, that no one else understood. Now she is left with a freedom of sorts. She walks into the local pub Creutz, orders a beer, and some plaice.

Tell Me more about Yourself in a Good Way is a mournful and reckless novel.
