In a remote Polish village, Janina spends her winter days studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and managing summer homes for wealthy Warsaw residents. She is seen as a reclusive oddity, preferring animals to people. When a neighbor, Big Foot, is found dead, followed by other mysterious deaths, Janina becomes convinced she knows the truth. She offers her insights to the investigation, but her unconventional nature makes her ideas hard to take seriously. The 2009 crime novel by Olga Tokarczuk follows her attempts to uncover the truth despite being dismissed by others.

Praise for “Prowadź swój pług przez kości umarłych”
“Drive Your Plow is exhilarating in a way that feels fierce and private, almost inarticulable; it’s one of the most existentially refreshing novels I’ve read in a long time.”
“A paean to nature. . . a sort of ode to Blake. . . [and] a lament. . . Does Tokarczuk transcend Blake? Arguable —perhaps.”
“A brilliant literary murder mystery.”
