Daniel Wayne ArmstrongFinished 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.
Jonas Heide Smith@dwarmstrong ah yes, great book, and I seem to vaguely recall that you picked the good (US) translation 📜

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.
@dwarmstrong great! And oh yes, do avoid the movie.
