We are going for Brunch again!
Are we officially a Brunch Book Club now? I hope so. I love brunch and I know you do too.
Our 16th edition of the Book Club will take place at the coziest market in town, which also happens to serve my favorite brunch! We’re partnering with Moko Market to host our meetings in their special cabinets, giving us a cozy, intimate, and exclusive space for our discussion 🦴
🕒 Schedule:
12:00 — Delicious brunch & mingling
12:45 ish — Our book club discussion begins
14:00 — Wrap-up & announcement of our next event 📚
We’re now collecting payment in advance to make the experience smoother and more intentional for everyone. Your ticket already includes brunch and your participation in the event.
The Book — Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk 🦴
First published in 2009, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a dark, poetic, and unsettling novel that follows Janina Duszejko — an eccentric, astrology-loving woman living on the fringes of society in a remote Polish village.
Blending mystery, philosophy, and ecological rage, the book questions who gets to decide what is rational, moral, or sane. Janina’s voice — sharp, tender, and defiant — challenges human arrogance, patriarchal logic, and our violent relationship with nature.
Reading this book together invites us to sit with discomfort, to listen to the voices that are often dismissed, and to ask difficult questions about justice, compassion, and rebellion. It’s a story that doesn’t offer easy answers — only sharper awareness and a lingering sense that the world might need to be reimagined entirely.
Maybe you saw this book before:
Questions that might arise:
– Who gets to decide what is “reasonable,” “normal,” or “mad”?
– What happens when care for animals and the earth is dismissed as extremism?
– Where do anger and compassion meet — and when do they turn into resistance?
– In what ways do we silence ourselves (or others) to stay socially acceptable?
– Which parts of Janina feel uncomfortable, familiar, or strangely liberating?
We can’t wait to sit with this provocative, darkly funny, and quietly rebellious story with you.
Meeting Details
Our facilitator 🖤 Carolina Bonatto
Besides being a book lover and voracious reader, Carolina is a writer and literature teacher studying Creative Writing at Helsinki University. She says about our February book, “Funny enough, I found out the title ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead’ comes from another book I read ages ago in college, and for some reason parts of it kept coming back to me when writing a story recently; it is also related to another author I was getting inspo from at the same time; then the new title for our Book Club, and it all culminated with Tássia asking me to facilitate the session… It is synchronicity at its best! I hope to bring you the same feelings of wonder, connection with your lives, and the world we live in during our time together!”
This will be a super special gathering, the perfect mix of good food, good conversation, and good energy.
The only “rule”? Read the book, come with your favorite quotes, questions, or theories about the story.
Spots are limited to keep the circle intimate and meaningful.
