In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her 60s, 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.

In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then, a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon, other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind....

I en afsides del af Polen nær den tjekkiske grænse lever Janina en tidligere lærerinde og ingeniør. Hun har påtaget sig den opgave at holde opsyn med de lokale sommerhusejeres vintertomme huse.

Una novela única, ligera y honda a la vez, que indaga en las posibilidades del género para hablar sobre el cuerpo, el mundo y las estrategias siempre insuficientes con que intentamos cartografiarlos. Al principio de Los errantes, la narradora esboza un autorretrato que es también una poética: "A todas luces yo carecía de ese gen que hace que en cuanto se detiene uno en un lugar por un tiempo más o menos largo, enseguida eche raíces. (...) Mi energía es generada por el movimiento.

Într-un cătun de la graniţa Poloniei cu Cehia, unde trăiesc aproape izolaţi de lume un grup de localnici şi cîţiva proprietari ai unor case de vacanţă, au loc o serie de crime. Victimele se dovedesc a fi vînători pasionaţi, iar dacă e să ascultăm opinia bătrînei doamne Duszejko, a cărei voce spune întreaga poveste, animalele sălbatice nu sînt tocmai străine de crime.
