Synopsis
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.

Book Description
A deliciously sinister Finnish fairytale of difference and belonging
From the Back Cover
When Gunnar Huttunen turns up in a small village to restore a dilapidated mill, its inhabitants are instinctively wary. He's big. He's a bit odd. And he's a stranger. Everyone loves his brilliant animal impressions but these feelings soon sour when he starts to howl wildly at night.
And once the mean-spirited, small-minded locals realise Gunnar won't conform, they conclude he must be mad. Hounded from his mill and persecuted for being different, only the love of his life and the local drunk stand by him. Can he survive? And how?
With its black, rebellious humour, The Howling Miller is a modern fable that is both beautifully written and strangely moving. Published all over the world and to great acclaim, this first British publication of a contemporary classic is sure to entrance a whole wave of new readers.
