The Quiet Girl Author:Peter Hoeg, Nadia Christensen (Translator) A mysterious order of nuns promises Kaspar Krone, a circus clown with a gambling debt and wanted for tax evasion, a reprieve from the authorities in exchange for his help in safeguarding children with mystical abilities -- talents that he also shares.
The same author of SMILLA'S SENSE OF SNOW - though a little flow is lost when translated to English, I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it was very captivating.
