The Lucky Mill

In the backwoods of Transylvania, the ambition of Lucky Mill's new innkeeper runs headlong into the interests of the region's most dangerous man. The fierce clash of wills threatens the fate of the inn, the innkeeper's marriage, and the lives of innocents.

The Lucky Mill (original title in Romanian, Moara cu noroc) is a fascinating 19th century psychological thriller, and the most important work of the Romanian realist author Ioan Slavici.
