When God Was a Rabbit
Checking Availibility...Description
When God Was a Rabbit is the story of a memorable young heroine, Elly, and her loss of innocence; a magical portrait of the pull and power of family ties, of loss and life. From Essex and Cornwall to the streets of New York, from 1968 to the events of 9/11, When God Was a Rabbit follows the evolving bond of love and secrets between Elly and her brother, Joe, and her increasing concern for her best friend, Jenny Penny, who has secrets of her own. Funny, quirky, utterly compelling, and poignant, too, When God Was a Rabbit heralds the start of a remarkable new literary career.

'Beguiling... you can't quite get the voice out of your head'--Daily Mail
'Captivating... rendered with an appealing frankness, precision and emotional acuity'--Observer
'Thronging with incident, wonder and outré language... sharply funny, whimsical and innovative'--The Guardian
