The Quiet Girl A Novel

Peter Hoeg, born in 1957 in Denmark, followed various callings--dancer, actor, sailor, fencer, and mountaineer--before turning seriously to writing. His work has been published in thirty-three countries. The Quiet Girl is his fifth novel.

"Extraordinary . . . There is no more morally (and imaginatively) engaged novelist writing today."--Newsday

"Completely immersive and riveting . . . There is more wit, gravity, and madcap pleasure in The Quiet Girl than in any new book I’ve read in recent memory."--The New York Sun

"Treat The Quiet Girl as a thriller, and you’ll sprint happily to its unexpected and enigmatic ending. Treat the novel as a love story, and you may be surprised by the deep silence of its final pages."--The Washington Post

"Høeg’s writing is jewel-encrusted. . . . This is writing that sparkles to distract from its deep philosophical aspects."--Los Angeles Times

"Slyly compelling, the story unfolds at breakneck speed."--Chicago Sun-Times
