Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow

Absolutely brilliant, re-read several times.

The book that introduced me to Nordic novels. I loved it when it first came out and I loved it all over again re-reading now. A superb narrator in Smilla, and what turns out to be a complex thriller. Full review on my blog: https://annabookbel.net/nordicfinds-denmark-week-my-gateway-book

When I first worked in a bookshop this was THE book, everyone was reading it (except me). that was 20 odd years ago. Finally got around to reading it and I have to say it was a massive disappointment. Part Nordic Noir part boring X Files episode. I guess in the end I was gutted it wasn't aliens.
