This feels like a novel for readers who love being slightly unmoored in the best way. Tokarczuk turns travel into something eerie, intimate, and philosophical, moving between strange human stories and sharp reflections on movement, mortality, and identity. It is the kind of book people admire for how haunting and original it feels long after finishing.
