Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead / Olga Tokarczuk, 274 p.
Janina lives in a lonely Polish village near the Czech border. She has few neighbors, and there are fewer all the time, as they keep turning up dead. Stranger still, their deaths involve the presence of deer, foxes, and other wild animals of the region who are frequently hunted by the residents. Could the animals be taking revenge? Between helping her friend Dizzy translate William Blake and constructing elaborate horoscope predictions, Janina decides to solve the mystery herself, with interesting consequences. Not quite what I expected, and not sure what I think.
