- Lene Kaaberbøl was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and grew up in the small town of Malling, in the Jutland countryside south of Aarhus. She published her first book when she was only 15 years old. It was the first book of what became the "Tina" children's fantasy series, which has never been translated from Danish. She graduated from Aarhus Katedralskole and earned a degree in both English and drama from Aarhus University. In 1988, her first fantasy novel for adults, The Morning Land, appeared. In addition to writing, she has also worked as a high school teacher and a translator. With Agnete Friis, a journalist, she is co-author of the Nina Borg series, beginning with The Boy in the Suitcase (2011), a bestseller.

The title drew me in, the story kept me. This Danish translated book is riveting, it starts with a punch and holds the reader throughout.
When Nina Borg receives a frantic call for help from her estranged friend, Karin, she can’t help but respond. When she follows her friends instructions and picks up a cumbersome suitcase at a train station, all is well until her curiosity gets the best of her. Inside the bag is a naked three-year-old boy who doesn’t speak Nina’s language. Who is this child? Why is he naked? And why is he in a suitcase?
The story progresses with Sagita desperately looking for her little boy who has gone missing, but no one is listening to her; she has a past. When Sagita and Nina find themselves in the same place at the same time, all hell breaks loose and the truths of past and present collide with an unexpected twist.
This was a great read and superbly translated. It does take a bit of concentration to keep the names and places straight (because they are foreign), but other than that, it reads at a lightening pace.… (mais)

I like the way the books are tied together. The balance here could've been better, the time spent on the historical plotline doesn't pay off in the present.
Cuando Sándor, un joven gitano de Hungría, es expulsado de la universidad por haber husmeado en páginas ilegales de tráfico de armas en Internet, sabe que su hermano Tamás se esconde detrás de todo esto, y emprende un viaje a Copenhague en su búsqueda. Allí, la enfermera de la Cruz Roja, Nina Borg, no pasa por su mejor momento personal, pues tiene una relación muy tensa con su hija adolescente y su marido. Pero, cuando una epidemia radiactiva en un insallubre campamento de refugiados gitanos amenaza con llegar a ser una catástrofe aún mayor, inicia una arriesgada investigación que tendrá consecuencias inesperadas en su vida.… (mais)

The book is stark, action-packed, and written from the view point of many of the players of the novel. It was also upsetting, as the book focused on human trafficking, and on the extent and reach of those involved with such horrors, and some of the scenarios that the authors mention made my blood run cold. I also found the book difficult because of Nina's scattered thought patterns. My own mental health problems are never far from the surface, so reading about someone else's poorly-focused thinking triggered my anxiety.
I definitely enjoyed the novel - more than enjoyed, really, it was absorbing and intelligent. I will definitely be searching for and reading more books by these talented Danish women.… (mais)
