I may have said this before - and it took me two goes to get into it - but Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (Polish: Prowadź swój pług przez kości umarłych) by Olga Tokarczuk. Trans. Antonia Lloyd-Jones is a good one. It's a sort of literary mystery novel. She got the Nobel Prize for Literature soon after it was published. |
