Books set in Copenhagen or Denmark that aren't gruesome murders?

[CowParsley2]

Are there any?

Have searched and not found any. Have read A Year of Living Danishly.

It's true, isn't it that Denmark/Copenhagen seems to attract crime/ thriller writing and all that Nordic Noir. You can try:

The Year of living Danishly by Helen Russell which offers wonderful insight to Danish life....

I loved Music and Silence by Rose Tremain, historical

The Library of Shadows by Mikkel Birkegaard

Maybe Tomorrow by Kim Golden

The Royal Physician's Visit by Per Olov Enquist

Hope you find something you like amongst those titles...

Jostein Gaarder... is he Danish or Swedish? Pretty sure his Christmas Mystery at least starts in Dennark...

The lady who wrote a Year of Living Danishly has a new novel out called Gone Viking, which I think is set in Denmark.

Oops no he's Norwegian! But they did at least travel through Denmark in Christmas Mystery.

Does Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow count? A detective story of sorts, but so much more. One of my favourite books.

Peter Hoegh who wrote Smilla

Karen Blixen

For total escapist fluff there's The Copenhagen Connection by Elizabeth Peters.

Also, isn't it Smilla's Sense of Snow?

That's the USA edition title yankee

Something by Peter Hoeg. The Quiet Girl, perhaps.

Thanks lucy just living up to my name...!
