Produktbeschreibung

How do you make sense of the loss of those you love the most? Delia Rabbit is already struggling to juggle three wayward children, a damaged relationship with her mother and an ill-advised affair with one of her students. Then her sixteen-year-old son Charlie vanishes in the middle of a blistering Brisbane heatwave. The family reels from the loss, as twenty-year-old Olive descends into hedonism and eleven-year-old Benjamin clings ever tighter to his superhero obsession. However, Charlie's disappearance is stranger than it seems. And while his family search desperately for him, he may be closer than they think . . . A multigenerational tale of motherhood, grief and the tribulations of adolescence, The Rabbits weaves a thread of magic into a classic family drama novel.

Rezensionen

Winner of the 2020 Penguin Australia Literary Prize

'A unique and captivating tangle of magic and mystery... [a] deliciously unsettling debut' The Guardian

'I love an unsympathetic heroine and, here, two brilliant ones come along at once: art teacher Delia Rabbit and her surly daughter Olive. [... The Rabbits is] a poetically written domestic drama with a wonderful magical-realist twist', Wendy Holden, Daily Mail

'Overett brings a fresh eye to the suburban novel' Booksandpublishing.com.au

'A book that compels you to keep reading... deft and agile' Readings.com.au
