"A "Chicago Tribune "Favorite Book of 2007
"The internationally acclaimed bestselling author of "Smilla's
Sense of Snow "returns with this "engrossing, beautifully written
tale of suspense . . . captivating" ("The ""Miami Herald").
Kaspar Krone is a world-renowned circus clown, and a man in some
deep trouble. Drowning in gambling debt and wanted for tax evasion,
Krone is drafted into the service of a mysterious order of nuns who
promise him reprieve in return for his help safeguarding a group of
children with mystical abilities--abilities that Krone also shares.
When one of the children goes missing, Krone sets off to find the
young girl and bring her back, making a shocking series of
discoveries along the way. "The Quiet Girl "is an exuberant
philosophical thriller that is "every bit as adventuresome and
ambitious as "Smilla's Sense of Snow," even more so" ("Cleveland
Plain Dealer").
