Ten White Geese by Gerbrand Bakker
3.0
Ten White Geese is a slim volume with a heavy presence. The book is full of questions, that are never answered. Overall, it is an account of a woman who abruptly moves to rural Wales, and what her life is like in the weeks after.
I found some of the explanations for her decision a bit stereotypical, and the mystery aspect was played up too much on the back cover. I occasionally had issues visualizing the placement of objects or bodies; perhaps this was due to it being a translation into English. Overall not a bad read, but only a particular type of reader -- who is interested in a character's internal world, first and foremost -- would enjoy it.
