Have you read it!? I've seen the miniseries (when I was very small) so I'm very excited to finally read the doorstopper.

Ooh that Olga Tokarczuk was a weird one! Would love to hear your thoughts on it when you’re done.

Drive your plow over the bones of the dead by Olga Tokarczuk it's weird, but I was mesmerised by it. I hope you like it :)

I am too! I was very happy to see it has both his essay essay on *Middlemarch* and his essay about George Eliot. Excited to read those!
