Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (Al Atzmot Hametim)

By Olga Tokarczuk

This is the story of an old lady who lives in a remote Polish village year-round, while most of its resident only stay there for the summer. She takes care of the "abandoned" properties during winter, and teaches English at the local school, though prior to that she was a civic engineer, building bridges in various countries. She is also a very sensitive woman who loves the poetry of William Blake (hence the title of the book), and quite eccentric, staunchly believing in the powers of astrology and in the evilness of hunters (especially those who stage feeding areas only to kill the approaching animals).

When hunters start dying out in mysterious ways, nobody believes her when she claims it was the acts of vengeful of the animals. [Hebrew translation; 263pp.]
