God I love Olga Tokarczuk- something about her writing feels so intimate but off-putting at the same time. This book was unique in that I don't think I've ever read something that combined elements of so many different genres: mystery, fantasy, existentialism, etc, etc. Overall this book did a good job at keeping up to pace with a singular theme-ish, but be warned that Tokarczuk is an author that isn't afraid to diverge from the original plot line only to come back to it in a nonsensical, erratic way. If you like astrology, animals, murder mysteries, and an unreliable narrator- this book is for you!
