@jonassmith Translated by Tina Nunnally.

The depth of Smilla's backstory is fantastic. I'm not at all interested in seeing the movie: I've formed an image of her in my mind, and so much of the pleasure of the book is in her inner dialogue which I imagine would be lost on the screen.

It will definitely rank as one of my favourites of 2026.

Finished reading _Smilla's Sense of Snow_ by Peter Høeg.

Loved it. Not only a whodunnit but an even stronger whydoit? Right until the end I was left wondering "What is in Greenland?!" Smilla is the character up to the task for finding out.
