The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty

The Rabbit Hutch by Tess GuntyWelcome to The Rabbit Hutch. An online obituary writer. A young mother with a secret. A woman waging a solo campaign against rodents. Separated by the thin walls of the Rabbit Hutch, a low cost housing complex in the run down Indiana town of Vacca Vale, these individual lives unfold. But Blandine is different. Ethereally beautiful and formidably intelligent, she shares an apartment with three teenage boys she neither likes nor understands, all of them

Are her first impressions correct

attention todetail and emotional acuity

'An unputdownable fairy tale that traces the boundaries of duty

but one so beautiful

the communities and their residents are detached from mainstream Australia by factors of distance and culture

She became a new person a long time ago

while scholarship in the 1980s

rich desserts

Ottolenghi every meal

for those you love

weighing up chances and frequently dicing with death

which are as full of individual character as they are of visionary wisdom
