She thinks more highly of snow and ice than she does of love. She lives in a
world of numbers, science and memories--a dark, exotic stranger in a strange
land. And now Smilla Jaspersen is convinced she has uncovered a shattering
crime...
It happened in the Copenhagen snow. A six-year-old boy, a Greenlander like
Smilla, fell to his death from the top of his apartment building. While the
boy's body is still warm, the police pronounce his death an accident. But Smilla
knows her young neighbor didn't fall from the roof on his own. Soon she is
following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow. For her dead
neighbor, and for herself, she must embark on a harrowing journey of lies,
revelation and violence that will take her back to the world of ice and snow
from which she comes, where an explosive secret waits beneath the ice....
"Splendid entertainment...The suspense novel as exploration of the heart."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Astonishing."
--Los Angeles Times
"A superbly constructed thriller...A combination of suspense narrative,
Hemingwayeque prose, exotic setting and spellbinding central female."
--People
"A book of profound intelligence...in the league of Melville or Conrad. Heg
writes prose that is bitter, changeable and deep-fathomed as poetry...[it]
demands to be read aloud and savored."
--The New Yorker
