Reviewed by the Book Verdict editorial team

Janina Duszejko, an eccentric elderly woman who reads horoscopes and cares obsessively about animal welfare, finds herself drawn into a series of mysterious deaths among the hunters of her Polish village. Tokarczuk's eco-detective novel is also a polemic about the relationship between humans and animals, written with philosophical urgency and unexpected comedy.
