Smilla, a Greenlandic woman living in Denmark, carries from her childhood a deep knowledge of snow. When little Esajas dies falling from a roof, she does not accept the official version: the tracks in the snow show that the boy was not playing but fleeing. Her investigation leads her to unravel what happened in an icy environment.
The novel was originally published in Danish as «Frøken Smillas Fornemmelse for Sne» (1992). The French translation is by Alain Gnaedig and Martine Selvadjian; it received the Glass Key Award and the CWA Silver Dagger.
