Summary: "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, preferring the company of animals to people; she's unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by the Nobel Prize in Literature laureate offers throught-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrasy of traditional religion, belief in predestination-- and caused a genuine political uproar in Poland.
