24/7/Memorial Day>>>Labor Day! White Jeans white skirts white dresses, thumbs up, OK!?! The Question is: Do I dare wear them out of the house? How long can I go without spillage, pillage or sitting on a picnic bench covered with…

Oh.

I’ll take me chances, matey! It’s summer temps here and it just feels right. We’ve been in the 90’s for DAYS now and I (and my sinuses) are diggin’ it. I finished my little red sweater and it feels extra nice when I have to sit in the AC.

Smilla’s Sense of Snow
by Peter Hoeg

Another fascinating tale from Greenland, this time in the nearest past, Smilla’s Sense of Snow explores the life of a young half-Intuit woman. Smilla exists in Copenhagen but her heart lives on the open ice of the regions near Thule, Greenland, her childhood home. Caught between the longing for the wide open no-boundary freedoms of her motherland and the modern society of her father’s urban lifestyle, Smilla struggles to find her place, her inner peaceful hearth and heart.

She becomes friend and protector of a young Intuit boy in her building, whose alcoholic mother cannot or will not take care of him. His mysterious death becomes the catalyst for her two halves to become whole as she calls on her intuition and intellect to solve his murder.

Peter Hoeg crafts a credible story which works as both a thriller and coming of age story in an Arctic environment not often examined.
