Book review: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Set in a remote Polish village, Olga Tokarczuk’s Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead follows Janina Duszejko, an eccentric elderly woman who becomes embroiled in an investigation after several local hunters are found murdered. Rather than a conventional murder mystery, the novel is an existential thriller that explores profound themes such as animal rights, social injustice, and the perception of madness.
