Set in Denmark in the here and now, The Quiet Girl centres around Kaspar Krone, a world-renowned circus clown with a deep love for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, and an even deeper gambling debt. Wanted for tax evasion and on the verge of extradition, Krone is drafted into the service of a mysterious order of nuns who promise him reprieve from the international authorities in return for his help safeguarding a group of children with mystical abilities.
When one of the children goes missing a year later, Krone sets off to find the young girl and bring her back, making a shocking series of discoveries along the way about her identity and the true intentions of his young wards.
The Quiet Girl pits art and spirituality against corporate interests and nothing less than the will to war by the industrialized world. This long-awaited novel from the author of Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow is a fast-paced philosophical thriller of rare quality.

Recensione:
"In Hoeg's hallucinatory prose, Copenhagen has a sinister near-future feel... there are also passages of lyrical beauty" (Financial Times)
"The Quiet Girl has Hoeg's best-selling hallmarks - including an off-kilter hero in the shape of Kasper Krone, a world-famous clown with a penchant for poker and mysticism" (Daily Mail)
"An amazingly faithful, readable version of Hoeg's Danish, idiomatic, allusive and crowded with philosophical, aesthetic and scientific memorabilia... all is illuminated by the author's passionate interest, his flashes of sparkling wit, and his skill in tying up all the loose ends of the wildly eccentric plot" (Independent)
"Hoeg is an able storyteller ... he writes entertainingly, at times lyrically, at times scathingly. The text is full of "little golden eggs" as Kasper puts it" (Scotland on Sunday)
"If you're wanting intellectual liveliness and originality (and lots of Bach), look no further" (Literary Review)
