I thought this was delightful. A portrait of a small community of recluses living on a wind-swept Polish plateau. Our heroine is an elderly part-time teacher, and full time astrology junkie, who is regarded as a madwoman by the nearby community, because of her conspiracy theories and preference of animals over people. Then the parish is hit by a string of mysterious deaths...

The writing is exquisite, and I especially like how this book doesn't seem to fit any clear label.
