Review by  waxlyrikal(14359) on 30/03/2004

This tale starts with the seemingly tragic death of a young boy, who falls to his death from a snowy rooftop. His friend, Smilla, becomes convinced of foul play and begins an epic quest to uncover the truth. The book is brilliantly written, with many gems of knowledge and Greenlandic lore stuffed into its pages. As crystalline and delicately enchanting as a snowflake, and the character of Smilla is one of the best realisations of a strong female in a thriller novel I have ever read. An amazing book.

A few years ago I went through a phase of reading Peter Hoeg, and would agree with Waxlyrikal on this one. In fact I might just go and track down my old copy and have another nose at it.....
