\u2018An ecological detective story set in a small Polish village, this strange, twisted, darkly brilliant novel \u2013revolving around a nature-loving old woman obsessed with the poems of William Blake \u2013 infuriated the right-wing hunting lobby in Poland, which is as good a reason as any to buy a copy. One of the most original, exciting and surprising books I\u2019ve read for years.\u2019 ~ Nick Hunt, contributor to May 2022’s Rebel Library<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she’s unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by ‘one of Europe’s major humanist writers’ (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination – and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk’s native Poland.<\/p>\n
