The Howling Miller by Arto Paasilinna

3.0

I unfortunately didn't connect much with this book. It follows an unusual hermit of a man, who purchases a local mill and manages to aggrevate most of the locals through his peculiarities. He falls in love with a charming but innocent young woman but his issues continue to escalate with the villagers.

I didn't really connect with the writing style. The original Finnish version was translated into French, then again into English, so I'm not sure if the translation was flat, or if it was true to the original style.
