"First published as Prowadź swój píug przez kości umarfych by Wydawnictwo Literackie, Kraków A portion of this book was published ,in different form, in Granta (138, Journeys) in 2017"--Title page verso.
"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"-- Provided by publisher.

slow-moving and boring submitted by TeacherN on June 28, 2021, 2:28pm I've heard that some people enjoyed this book and found its aging female protagonist delightful. Though it had potential, I found this book extremely slow-moving and boring. I stuck it out to the end hoping it would have some sort of surpise, but I was dissappointed. Don't waste your time.
