God Was a Rabbit Then
About This Novel
Her name is Ellie. She can read and write at the age of four and loves to make friends with people older than her. One day, Ellie met her new neighbor Mr. Golan. She entered the adult world ignorantly, not knowing that this eighty-year-old man would actually hurt her. Ellie is confused, ashamed, and worried that no one will ever love her again. Brother Joe took her hand at the right time and gave her a rabbit as a gift to accompany and comfort her. After that, the two talked about everything, including the injury, Joe's own secret that he couldn't tell his parents, and Ellie's lifelong friend Penny. From the age of 4 to 33, from the small town of Essex to Cornwall, from London to New York, life seems calm and solid, but there are undercurrents, lurking deceit, betrayal, separation, disaster, sex and violence. The dark side of life is always ready to reach out and swallow them up. The only unchanging belief in love always protects his brother and sister. An unusual coming-of-age story. A brother and sister are as protective and connected as the stars and the moon, and the changes of a family in the past forty years. All the beauty and sweetness, confusion and loneliness in growing up, this book helps you express it, making you just want to hold it in your chest after reading it.
