Set in Denmark in the here and now, The Quiet Girl centers around Kaspar Krone, a world-renowned circus clown with a deep love for the music of Johan Sebastian Bach, and an even deeper gambling debt.

Poor Narration
Reviewed: 11-17-10
I would have given this book 4 stars as I like Peter Høeg, I have read all his books so I am quite into his style and I like the story of the Quiet Girl. As usual the characters are intriguing, the plot twisted and I loved it.
The narrator however lets it down. Mr Gale should have done some research and practiced pronunciations. I struggled to recognise many if not any of the local names and spend too much time guessing and then being annoyed that I had to.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
