About the book:

Anna Frenza hates the tyrannical tree huggers and idiotic eco-warriors, after all, she’s CEO of Poland’s biggest oil company. But when she finds herself sleepwalking into the woods and making love to a tree, all caught on camera, her career comes to an abrupt end. Her mind splinters and, whether by delusion or possession of spirit, she finds herself in a medieval province ruled by the Catholic Church.

Deep in the past, she falls in with Mathilde Spalt, leader of the Earthen Ones – a congregation of women who live in the woods and reject all patriarchy. Instead engaging in the ecstatic, sensuous worship of Mother Earth. Anna learns to love the forest she had once dismissed . . . until the Church decides to fell the trees and all the women within it.

‘You’re holding a torpedo of a book in your hand. Take a seat and get comfortable. This novel’s energy, humour and rebel spirit will awaken your mind and change your way of thinking’
– Olga Tokarczuk

‘[A] ribald, diabolically clever, fiercely feminist satire . . . Szpila’s lacerating, sly, ecosexual tale offers recalibrating perspectives on history, sex, the sacred, environmental decimation and woman power.’

– Donna Seaman, Booklist
