the fox was ever the hunter by Nobel Prize winner Herta Muller is set in Romania where Muller is from during the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu. The book focuses on a group of friends and how they go about their daily lives. It is not written in straightforward manner and is instead quite poetic and beautiful.
However, that style also makes the story a bit hard to follow. While reading, I’m not certain I would have been able to say exactly what is going on in the story but even with that, it never failed to hold my attention and keep reading. This was another find through the Winnipeg Henderson library that is a always a welcome resource into other worlds than the usual internet reading lists.
