Olga Tokarczuk’s Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is now available as an Audiobook in a Card, offering a distinctive way to share one of the most provocative and original novels of contemporary literature.

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, unconventional and fond of the poetry of William Blake. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. This existential thriller offers thought-provoking ideas on madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion – and on publication caused a genuine political uproar in Olga Tokarczuk’s native Poland.

This audiobook is narrated by the translator Antonia Lloyd-Jones. Through her voice, the novel’s dark humour and moral urgency emerge with striking force, drawing the listener into Duszejko’s world.

Each card includes space for a handwritten message and is produced in Great Britain using 100% recycled card, making it ready to post or hand-deliver. Inside, a QR code unlocks the complete audiobook through the Spiracle experience, with clear instructions for listening.
