Spanning four decades, from 1968 onwards, this is the story of a fabulous but flawed family and the slew of ordinary and extraordinary incidents that shape their everyday lives.
It is a story about childhood and growing up, loss of innocence, eccentricity, familial ties and friendships, love and life. Stripped down to its bare bones, it's about the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.Gloriously offbeat... Winman's narrative voice is beautifully true, with a child's unsentimental clarity. A superb debut. - The Times
Beguiling... you can't quite get the voice out of your head. - Daily MailCaptivating... rendered with an appealing frankness, precision and emotional acuity. - ObserverThronging with incident, wonder and outr language... sharply funny, whimsical and innovative. - The GuardianSarah Winman grew up in Essex. She attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and went on to act in theatre, film and television. WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT is her first novel. She lives in London.
