I read this book over the course of 3 days while camping alone in the woods (the absolute perfect setting to read this book about a woman alone in the forest). What a dream of a novel - nothing and everything happens on every page. It is simultaneously mundane and wildly surreal. It also contains the most compelling description of a human being's relationships to domestic animals that I have ever read.
Highly recommend - incidentally, I found it a little bit hard to track down a copy of this book. I think it's possible that the English translation is out of print (or at least it was out of stock indefinitely everywhere I looked for it). I found it on thriftbooks. I found out about it because it is mentioned (not by name, just described) in one of the stories in Pond by Claire-Louise Bennet (the narrator describes the book she is reading, and it is this book).
