The Twin by Gerhard Bakker

Helmer's twin has died many years before and now Helmer is living on the family farm with just his dying father.

I felt this was beautifully written (translated?) and compelling but I am not sure I liked it that much. I finished it with so many unanswered questions and I was not convinced by the behaviour of either of the women but it did provoke a lively discussion of what it all meant.
