Sinossi
Per la polizia non ci sono dubbi: è stato un incidente. Il piccolo Esajas correva sul tetto innevato quando è caduto, rimanendo ucciso. Ma Smilla non è convinta: lei viene dalla Groenlandia, e la neve la conosce bene, sa leggervi le tracce, e ora le impronte del bambino le dicono in modo chiaro che non si è trattato di un incidente... Mentre Copenaghen si prepara a celebrare il Natale, Smilla inizia a investigare, trovandosi pericolosamente a confronto con una serie di inquietanti personaggi, coinvolta in un'indagine destinata a portare lontano, in viaggio su una nave la cui meta misteriosa è un punto deserto della calotta polare. Perché là, fra quei ghiacci che conosce, teme e rispetta, è nascosta la verità di cui Smilla va in cerca. La verità che forse, inconsciamente, ha sempre inseguito.

Book Review, Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow I've been wanting to read this book for over two decades and was glad when I finally got my hands on it. I expected great things of it, not the least because it had been recommended, back at school, by my beloved and sadly deceased teacher. I really, really Leggi tutto
After an initially over-enthusiastic 5 stars (which prompted consternation from some parties!) and then a too-sober 3 stars, I'm settling on four stars for this intelligent, brooding, minutely researched, acutely observed thriller. I think I wanted to give it five stars for two reasons: I read some
This is one peculiar read. Yes, it (kinda) defies convention (its protagonist, Smilla Jaspersen, is a breath of fresh air & the way she deals with depression & inner demons in a place that simply screams KILL YOURSELF! is both invigorating and poetic) but it is exactly this unpredictability that jux Leggi tutto
This is an interesting and somewhat convoluted thriller, whose laconic prose and narrative voice kept me interested even when the pacing (which is a bit uneven) was a little off. It's really that narrative voice that raises this a notch above your standard genre thriller, although the end did partak Leggi tutto
What a great Charity shop find. Intrigued by the title and then find it’s a Scandi with a female lead written by a male author. I can see why Henning Mankell apparently said this was a book he wished he had written. It spent 26 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. Smilla Jaspersen a 37 year Leggi tutto
