Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
5.0
Wow. Just wow.
Without saying anything that can spoil it. The ending took my breath away. I see a lot of people calling the book boring and saying it’s not what they expected.
I found this book difficult initially, but once I was in, I was in. I loved living inside the head of Janina Duszjeko. And I hope she’ll forgive me for calling her by the name she was given at birth. I loved the setting and all of the characters. I really fell in love with it all. I understand why this book may feel like a slog to some. But I really loved it. I didn’t see the ending coming whatsoever. And it landed magnificently. Olga Tokarczuk is an absolute force. Just from this book alone I can tell she deserves all the awards, and all the flowers. Wow. Just wow.
