Book club meeting 14

This month we’re reading Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

More darkly humorous than the title suggests, Drive Your Plow is a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she’s unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken.

We’ll meet for the book club in the shop on Wednesday 29 June @ 7pm – everyone is welcome and we encourage newcomers, just drop us an email at orders@paradesendbooks.co.uk to come along!
