Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by the renowned author Olga Tokarczuk is an enthralling noir novel that invites readers into a shadowy and subversive landscape.

This gripping tale, set in a secluded Polish village, revolves around the eccentric Janina Duszejko, a woman in her sixties whose true companions are the animals she cherishes. When her two beloved dogs mysteriously vanish, Janina becomes enmeshed in a chilling sequence of murders that shake her community to its core.

But this is no ordinary crime novel; it poses deep existential questions and engages with weighty themes such as:

  • Perceptions of Madness: Challenge societal norms and discover what defines insanity.
  • Animal Rights: Join Janina in her passionate defense of the voiceless.
  • Religious Hypocrisy: Critique the traditional morals that shape societal beliefs.
  • Marginalization: Reflect on the injustices faced by society's outcasts.
  • Belief in Predestination: Ponder the eternal struggle between fate and free will.

Olga Tokarczuk, celebrated as "one of Europe's major humanist writers" by the Guardian, artfully crafts a narrative that is both entertaining and intellectually stimulating. Her work has sparked significant political discourse in Poland and beyond, solidifying its status as a must-read for those who appreciate literature that pushes boundaries.

Engage with Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and uncover a thought-provoking tale that lingers long after the final page. Explore its depths and let it challenge your perceptions of life, morality, and justice.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
