The White Hare

Reviews

Emma

‘In a valley steeped in legend lies an abandoned house where Edens may be lost, found and remade. There’s something very chilling about a child creating an obsession for one toy and the way Janey fixates on that rabbit and the stories she makes up is just brrrrrrrrr.

– the way the author has used place and setting to fuse our natural curiosity with legends into a story with a little girl and her toy rabbit. She brings it all very vividly to life however.

It’s a clever mix and way of writing and I was captivated. It is character-driven through Mila where the story slowly unfolds, and layer upon layer is peeled away revealing either an event or revelation, I was just engrossed as I never knew what was coming. my reading expecations were causing the hairs on my neck to stand on end.

Oh, my goodness this is a superbly unsettling, eerie, atmospheric story but so perfectly balanced as I found myself smiling and chuckling from time to time which lightened the tone. Maybe I will visit. .

However, not is as it seems as there is a reason they managed to buy such a grand house for a great price. There is a white hare which roams The White Valley; not all get to see her but if they do, they are unsure if she is an omen or a blessing. Magda has grand plans for the house, as she strives to have it restored to its former glory and run as B&B, where guests will enjoy lavish breaks in the countryside and be entertained with brilliant parties mingling with high society.
