Reviews / Votes
'At times laugh-out-loud funny, at others gut-wrenchingly sad, the book is peppered with unique and complex characters who are so original, well-observed and believable that you'll be completely absorbed into their world' * Easy Living * 'A story of siblings, friendship, secrets and love, told with sadness and humour' * Marie Claire * 'A genuinely captivating read' * Glamour * 'In the way that David Nicholls' ONE DAY follows two people through their lives, this traces a family story over four decades in the most unexpected way' * Red Magazine * 'Mesmerising' * Good Housekeeping * 'It's rare to find a novel you're recommending to friends, family and colleagues by page 60 but When God Was A Rabbit is just that kind of book... it's funny (embarrassingly so on public transport), recognizably true and heart-breaking in equal measure... A truly great book to lose yourself in; prepare to bore everyone else around you by telling them just how much they need to read it' * Stylist *More details
