for Snow by Peter Høeg
Translated from the Danish by F. David
Published by Harvill Press in 1996
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, suspects murder. She has seen his footsteps in the snow, and,
having been brought up by her mother, a Greenlander, she has a feeling
for snow. She embarks on a dangerous quest to find the truth, following
a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow.
