I recently finished Olga Tokarczuk’s Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, which is a sideways sort of murder mystery with a decidedly animal liberationist flair. Since the main character is a reclusive older woman living alone in a cabin in the Polish forests, it also gets points as a major source of daydream fodder, for such is exactly what I want to be when I grow up.
