Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead- Book Club Discussion

For the past month we have been reading
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Olga Tokarczuk

• Fiction, Mystery, Thriller, Polish, Contemporary

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?

Time to meet up and see what you all thought of it. We'll also be discussing the selection of the new book.

New members are still welcome to join us, even if you haven't read the book.
