‘The Howling Miller’ is a truly original story and one not to miss It is set in the post-war years in northern [8] Finland and traces the life of Gunnar, a decent kind of man, after he moves into the area [4]
to buy and renovate a dilapidated old mill However, although business prospers, he is prone to [4]
extreme highs and lows, and these unpredictable mood swings unnerve the villagers, who of a night [2]
often hear his howling Little by little, the villagers turn against him Outraged by their increasingly [5]
antagonistic actions, he retaliates and after this, things spiral out of control, with him on the run from [3] the authorities How will things end? This book mightn’t sound much like a comedy Read it however, [8] and you’ll soon begin to appreciate the plots, characterisation and the dark and deadpan style it’s written in [4]
