This was a funky little book. I'm not sure what Nobel uses as their criteria and if this book was specifically awarded or just the author, but it was This was a funky little book. I'm not sure what Nobel uses as their criteria and if this book was specifically awarded or just the author, but it was ... funky! haha.
An old woman lives on a mountain on the Polish/Czech border. She's eccentric - to say the least. Her village is suddenly plagued by a rash of deaths, and she is convinced it's nature fighting back against man.
To me, this book wasn't about the story. It was about this character, and her inner monologue. I found it a bit philosophical. That's normally not my jam, but she was just quirky enough I was really engaged.
I felt pretty certain it was getting 5-stars for a lot of the book, but I didn't love the end.
Not sure I'd rush to read more of this author, but I'm glad I read it....more
