Smilla's Sense of Snow (aka Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow)
reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


I found this a particularly exciting and engaging story by an author that was new to me when I first read the book 15 yr ago. I have recently re-read it and still find it a very good book. Unfortunately, the books available in the US are slightly different from those published in Europe right after it was translated into English. That book had a blue cover with a dark silhouette on it. The later editions changed the cover and, I think, a few parts of the story for a different audience.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be captivated for several hours.
