Europe through literature discussion

Hi all!

This thread is for the discussion of our Nov/Dec 2021 read of Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

Feel free to discuss anything you like about the book! The following questions might get you started:

What made you want to read the book?

How do you like the characters? The plot? The writing style? The creation of atmosphere?

This is a re-read for me and I simply love this narrator! She is so quirky and weird but then again I am of the opinion that she is basically the only "normal" character in the entire novel :))

I just got the book. It seems pretty weird. Did she do the killing?

HaHa! Nice try! I can only say: Look out for the animal tracks :)) And in the end it is all in the stars :)))))

Seriously, I think the feeling to feel powerless but still be determined to fight back is very well depicted and I can to some extend identify quite well with her...

This woman is incredibly peculiar! I started reading a couple of days ago.
