No, unfortunately I haven't, but she's a well known and respected author, and I would give it a go if I were interested. Just be careful with the translation. Sometimes a translation can break an otherwise good book.
What we had to read in school was so boring, and I ended up being more interested in English authors than Danish. It's only recently I've started to discover that there's something of worth 'closer to home'.
