THE WOMAN WHO GAVE BIRTH TO RABBITS
This is a collection of stories inspired by the author’s discoveries of fascinating, hidden scraps of the past.
Here an engraving of a woman giving birth to rabbits, a plague ballad, surgical case notes, theological pamphlets, and an articulated skeleton are ingeniously fleshed out into rollicking, full-bodied fictions.
Emma Donoghue brings to her tales a colorful, elegant prose filled with vivid description of the period.
