When God Was a Rabbit
Description
Sarah Winman`s bestselling, critically-acclaimed debut novel WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT continues to captivate and enchant readers. 1968. The year Paris takes to the streets. The year Martin Luther King loses his life for a dream. The year Eleanor Maud Portman is born. Young Elly`s world is shaped by those who inhabit it: her loving but maddeningly distractible parents, a best friend who smells of chips and knows exotic words like `slag`, an ageing fop who tapdances his way into her home, a Shirley Bassey impersonator who trails close behind, lastly, of course, a rabbit called God. In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly`s one constant is her brother Joe. Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, one bright morning when a single, earth-shattering event threatens to destroy their bond forever. Spanning four decades and moving between suburban Essex, the wild coast of Cornwall and the streets of New York, this is a story about childhood, eccentricity, the darker side of love and sex, the pull and power of family ties, loss and life. More than anything, it`s a story about love in all its forms.
