Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
3.0
3/5 ⭐️
The deer gazed at us calmly, as if we had caught them in the middle of performing a ritual whose meaning we couldn't fathom.
This was a little bit of a miss for me. I found the main character quite interesting, just like the story and the setting, except that the whole read felt a little boring to me. Roughly at the 30% mark the book started getting repetative, which, if done right, I can be a fan of, but not here. The story felt streched out. Even if it made sense for the main character, I didn’t love it.
The writing style was incredibly beautiful at times, and at times I found myself trying to skim.
