Anna’s voice wasn’t a beautiful voice – rough edged and sorrowful, a bit used, somehow male and female at once. Yet it had more vibrancy to it than most Danish voices, which were often thin and white and too pretty to trigger a shiver. Anna’s voice had the heat of the south; it warmed Einar, as if her throat were red with coals.
