Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
4.5
I think about this book more often than I thought I would. Even though it was a struggle to get through at points, it’s really grown on me in the last month since finishing.
The payoff here was fantastic, but the build-up felt laborious and scattered. I was trudging.
Considering the main character is an astrologist AND obsessive animal-lover (two things I can’t stand), I was surprised by how convincing she was for me. By the end I felt I understood her, and she DIDN’T annoy me with her ‘don’t hunt animals’ tangents. Well written. But soooo much (too much?) astrology.
