RaveReadings (AU)This will be a one-word review. Wow. That’s it. Thank you and goodnight. There are no other words that will adequately express my awe and wonder at the sheer mastery, originality, wit, humour, humanity and heartbreak of The Rabbit Hutch ... It is astonishing that someone can be so accomplished, polished and sharp as a writer, that they can write a book that is pitch perfect right down to the very last line. There are no words to describe how brilliant The Rabbit Hutch is. Which is why, as I stated, this is a one-word review.
Geraldine Brooks
RaveReadings (AUS)is really and truly the way things happened. The barns, the barbers, the drawing rooms, the streets, are all skilfully and convincingly drawn. The cruelty of humankind towards animals, as well as the cruelty of humankind towards itself feels real. This is a huge book, with enormous themes, beautifully and engagingly written. Expect it on all the prize lists this year. Brilliant!
Sarah Krasnostein
RaveReadings (AUS)Sarah Krasnostein brings her inquisitive nature and empathetic way with people to her new book ... Krasnostein interviews a range of people about their beliefs – ghost hunters, UFO researchers, a death doula, Mennonite missionaries and Creationists (complete with life-sized Noah’s Ark) – and these interviews had me confronting my own belief systems and sympathies ... This is a hard-to-define book because it swings wildly from group to group, but that’s also the beauty of it. By seeking such disparate subjects, Krasnostein has woven the threads of their stories, and their very different belief systems, into a tapestry that is rich with life, love and stories. I expect this will be running off the shelves, and deservedly so.
