Olga Tokarczuk’s Writing Soundtrack For Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead

The genre-defying novel Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead – Dua’s Monthly Read for January by Olga Tokarczuk – delves into the dark secrets of a remote Polish village. After a series of mysterious deaths occur in the local hunting community, an eccentric woman takes it upon herself to solve the murders – it’s a compelling blend of dark humour, philosophical musings, and startling political revelations.
