About this listen
A haunting story of a childhood in the Austrian countryside from the author of The Wall: The Fifth Year follows a five-year-old girl, Marili, through each season of a single year on her grandparents farm in the mountains of Austria. Her grand-mother is a quiet, melancholic woman; her grandfather, with his calm, cheerful disposition, radiates warmth. Marilis parents have presumably died in the war, and she is left to discoverwith curiosity, wonder, and fearthe beauty and darkness of a quiet pastoral life. Sinister elements lurk beneath the surface of The Fifth Year, in Marilis dreams and fantasies, and this deceptively simple tale of childhood, told in effervescent and evocative prose, bubbles to life in Marlen Haushofers inimitably alarming style.©2026 Ullstein Buchverlage GmbH, Berlin; Shaun Whiteside (P)2026 New Directions Publishing Corp.
