The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits by Emma Donoghue
An inspired dance on the narrow and exhilarating cliff-edge of art.-THE WASHINGTON POST BOK WORLD
EM M A D O N O G H U E, celebrated author of Slammerkin, vividly
animates hidden scraps of the past in this remarkable collection. An
engraving of a woman giving birth to rabbits, a plague ballad, theological
pamphlets, and an articulated skeleton are ingeniously fleshed out
into rollicking tales. Whether she's spinning the tale of a soldier tricked
into marrying a dowdy spinster, or a Victorian surgeon's attempts to
improve women, Donoghue fills us with the sights and smells of the
period as she summons the ghosts of ordinary people, bringing them to
unforgettable life in fiction.
Sprightly prose. Transcends the usual limitations of historical fiction.
-THE NEW YORK TIMES BOK REVIEW
Remarkably vivid, inventive scenes give life to each story
and make the collection absorbing. -THE VILAGE VOICE
Earthy, exhilarating tales. -ELE
