Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

by Olga Tokarczuk

An eccentric woman who translates Blake and studies astrology becomes convinced that animals are taking revenge on the poachers and hunters despoiling her remote Polish village. Tokarczuk blends murder mystery with ecological fury and dark comedy, questioning humanity's relationship with the natural world. A fierce, strange novel that defies easy categorization while asking uncomfortable questions about whose lives matter.
