Drive your plow over the bones of the dead

A subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. Janina is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people. She's unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, she becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination – and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.
