Synopsis

In 1960s Copenhagen, Sofie’s working-class father wins the Danish national lottery.

The money is enough to move his family from gritty Vesterbro into a grand brownstone in affluent Østerbro. Not enough for him to stop painting houses for a living.

For Sofie, the windfall changes everything.

Among the wealthy children of her new neighborhood, she is the house painter’s daughter. Among the friends she has left behind, she is suddenly the rich girl. At an age when she had assumed she knew exactly where she belonged, Sofie discovers that she belongs nowhere.

It is the first of many thresholds she will cross.

Education carries her into Denmark’s elite academic circles. Marriage carries her into one of the country’s most influential families. Her world expands into embassy galas, diplomatic circles, luxury hotels, Copenhagen and Madrid.

Then, before that life has fully begun, a single night alters its course.

Luminous, unsettling, and exacting, Elsewhere Is a Place in Central Park is a work of moral gravity based on a true story. A novel about belonging where you were never meant to be.

“Original, exceptional, and a fascinating read from cover to cover … entertaining, thought-provoking, impressive level of literary excellence.” — Midwest Book Review

“A plainly stated, unsensationalist story that will grow inside you until you realise you've been profoundly moved... something bewitching about the way that Elsewhere is a Place in Central Park grows inside you as a reader. The choice of ending, too, is perfect...incredibly satisfying and rare.” — James Kinsley, Read Discovery

À propos de l'auteur

Harrison Rose Tate's extensive role over the last two decades as a writer has largely been on behalf of corporations, often without a byline. Her work has appeared in essays, articles, technical publications, and archival formats. Her academic background includes a master's degree, but most of her insight comes from years spent inside the system; building it, running it, watching how it shapes the people who use it. After years of ghostwriting, consulting, and building systems for others, her newest titles have special meaning. They are the first major works published in her own name. They have been well-received. Although still new (2025-2026), her collection of books is already in library circulation in California (San Diego and Riverside Counties), Washington and Illinois, with more to come. Distribution is expanding all the time. Editorial reviews have been exceptionally positive, and her book Heavy Metal is a Sin won ECS Publishing's book of the year award. Tate has a classic, restrained approach and writes to endure. The topics resonate with readers, include diversity, global locations, breadth, history and well-written craft. Tate has lived and traveled throughout the world.
