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. Marili's parents have presumably died in the war, and she is left to discover--with curiosity, wonder, and fear--the beauty and darkness of a quiet pastoral life. Sinister elements lurk beneath the surface of The Fifth Year, in Marili's dreams and fantasies, and this deceptively simple tale of childhood, told in effervescent and evocative prose, bubbles to life in Marlen Haushofer's inimitably alarming style.
