It is the most prestigious list of “must-read” recommendations for French book lovers.
Two years ago, Tokarczuk’s The Book of Jacob was also included on the list.
Tokarczuk received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2018 "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopaedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life.”
Her other major books include Flights, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.
