A wonderful novelle of a man born in the early 20th Century, who loses his wife and daughter to a great fire ravishing the valley. He keeps living in his own hut on his own acre, and once sees her, an apparition, and another time, his daughter.
Written in a way that is hard to describe. Very simple, very direct. You could say "not much happens", and yet it won't let itself be put away.
It's nearly poetry, of a harsh rustic kind.
