Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

We have chosen 'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead' by Olga Tokarczuk for our May read...

'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk is a philosophical mystery set in a remote Polish village. The story follows Janina, a reclusive woman in her sixties who is passionate about animal rights and astrology. When several members of a local hunting club are found dead under mysterious circumstances, Janina believes the deaths are a form of cosmic retribution for the hunters’ cruelty to animals.
As Janina investigates, the line between superstition and reality begins to blur. The novel explores themes of morality, justice, and the relationship between humans and nature, raising questions about exploitation and the consequences of human actions on the natural world. Combining elements of eco-thriller and philosophical fiction, it challenges readers to rethink humanity’s treatment of animals and the environment.'
