What Tomasz Says: "A good place to start exploring Tokarczuk’s world is this strange and brilliant novel about an old woman taking on the patriarchy with the mysterious help of the forest. I also adore its film adaptation, Spoor, directed by the great Agnieszka Holland"
What They Say: "Translated with virtuosic precision and wit by Antonia Lloyd-Jones, Tokarczuk’s prescient, provocative and furiously comic fiction seethes with a Blakean conviction of the cleansing power of rage: the vengeance of the weak when justice is denied.... [An] elegantly subversive novel" — Jane Shilling
