Description for The Howling Miller (Canons)
Paperback.
When Gunnar Huttunen turns up in a small village to restore its run-down mill, its inhabitants are wary. Gunnar is big. He's a bit odd. And, strangest of all, he howls wildly at night. If Gunnar is different, then he must be mad, the villagers decide. Hounded from his home, he must find a way to survive the wilds of nature and the greater savagery of civilization. The Howling Miller is a dark fairytale of community, conformity and our place in the world.

New York Times
Profound . . . Paasilinna's singular vision of freedom and persecution proves beguiling
Guardian
Part myth, part fable and part novel - a form that has a funny way of bypassing the head and directly affecting the animal instincts
