Smilla's Sense of Snow

Nick Gracilla

While I enjoyed drawing the lines between Danish and Greenlandic culture, and the sense of expanse and chill this book conveys, I couldn’t understand why so many characters, often after a bloody fight, go on to help our crafty, depressed anti heroine. It was frankly not believable that her primary skill aside from reading snow — which turns out only moderately helpful — is getting friends and enemies to give her info they don’t want to.

Smilla's sense of snow

Yulande Lindsay

Too dense, too slow, could not connect with the protagonist, Smilla. Boring, really. And NO resolution!!!!

The original Scandinavian thriller One snowy day in Copenhagen, six-year-old Isaiah falls to his death from a city rooftop.The police pronounce it an accident. But Isaiah's neighbour, Smilla, an expert in the ways of snow and ice, suspects murder. She embarks on a dangerous quest to find the truth, following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow.

Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow

Rose Stanley

A pleasingly dark whodunnit/thriller, that is as much about the clash of Danish and Greenlandic cultures as it is about the slightly incredible main plotline. Good one-liners, plenty of action, slightly fizzly-out ending though.
