 WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

"A brilliant literary murder mystery." —Chicago Tribune

"Extraordinary. Tokarczuk's novel is funny, vivid, dangerous, and disturbing, and it raises some fierce questions about human behavior. My sincere admiration for her brilliant work." —Annie Proulx

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?

The narrator’s odd voice put me off at first. As the story unfolded I realized she perfect for this book. This is the rare book by Nobel Prize winner that is highly entertaining.

I loved the witch-like main character with her astrological world view and her odd assortment of friends. Even in translation, some of the descriptions of nature are lovely. The reader’s accented pronunciation lent a genuine tone to the audio version. The mystery’s plot twist took me by complete surprise.

Unusual and intriguing

A brilliant story with many ideas to contemplate. The narration was slow, but perfect when I sped it up to 1.1, didn’t sound annoying at this speed and moved the story along more organically. Would love to listen to it in Polish

Beautifully dark

An interesting story, although you might be able to predict the ending. I often find myself turning the narration speed down on audiobooks, but this was the first time I had to turn it up in order to make it listenable. The narrator reads extremely slowly. Still, it's an interesting story with an interesting protagonist (and a host of decidedly less-interesting minor characters), and worth a listen.

Bit of a Slow Burn

This was my first exposure to Ms Tokarczuk and our narrator Ms Pozniak. My concise summary: murders are happening in a quiet hamlet of Poland and Janina, our narrating character, has significant astrological data that supports a more 'natural' if somewhat vengeful answer to why they are happening. With her friends Odd Ball, Good News, Dizzy and Boris she journeys through these events in a unique and individual way that is entertaining, fascinating and weirdly wonderful all at the same time.

I was so happy that I listened to this book. The narrator, Ms Pozniak, added depth to the main character, Janina, in a way that reading the book never could have. In her distinct accent, she set the stage for Janina and the Polish landscape in a very unique way. Her portrayal was excellent! The story was also quirky, but in a somehwat comedic and tragic sense, too. Animals with a vengeful agenda isn't new, but this story reflected so many of my own feelings towards people who hunt animals and Janina's anger provided some satisfaction for those feelings. It's a simple story, really. Neighbours find their neighbour dead, things happen to people and we're introduced to a cast of characters including some deer, some foxes, two sweet dogs and numerous other wildlife. This was more than entertaining - it was an introduction to a writer who can more than hold their own. I'm so glad that this book is getting attention and that I decided to pick it up.

Superb!
