In November, we are discussing Drive your plow over the bones of the dead by Olga Tokarczuk. This title is available as an ebook from DownloadLibrary.
In a remote Polish village, Janina
devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of
William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents.
Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret
preference for the company of animals over humans. Then a neighbor, Big Foot,
turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange
circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the
investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her
mind . . .
A deeply satisfying
thriller cum fairy tale, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of
the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland
between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate. Whom do
we deem sane? it asks. Who is worthy of a voice?
