The Interlopers - Hector Hugh Munro - Bookniverse

Two men, one bitter resentment, and a storm that changes everything. For generations, the families of Ulrich and Georg have fought over a narrow strip of forest. On a night of howling wind, they meet face-to-face with murder in their hearts—until a falling tree traps them both beneath its weight. This is the starting point for The Interlopers, a gripping story that explores the themes of revenge, forgiveness, and the overwhelming power of the natural world. ****************************The creator of this tense and atmospheric tale was Hector Hugh Munro, better known by his pen name ‘Saki’. Born in 1870 in Burma (now Myanmar) and raised by strict aunts in England, Saki was famous for his incredibly sharp and sometimes cruel wit. He was quite cynical about human behaviour and the silly rules of society. His writing style is known for being short, clear, and packed with a sudden, shocking impact.
