Review on Early Riser A new stand-alone novel from the New York
Times bestselling author of Early Riser and the Thursday Next
series England, 2022. There are 1.2 million human-size rabbits
living in the UK. They can walk, talk, drive cars, and they like to
read Voltaire, the result of an Inexplicable Anthropomorphizing
Event fifty-five years before. A family of rabbits is about to move
into Much Hemlock, a cozy little village in Middle England where
life revolves around summer fetes, jam making, gossipy corner
stores, and the oh-so-important Best Kept Village awards. No sooner
have the rabbits arrived than the villagers decide they must
depart, citing their propensity to burrow and breed, and their
shameless levels of veganism. But Mrs Constance Rabbit is made of
sterner stuff, and her and her family decide they are to stay.
Unusually, their neighbors--longtime resident Peter Knox and his
daughter, Pippa--decide to stand with them . . . . and soon
discover that you can be a friend to rabbits or humans, but not
both. With a blossoming romance, acute cultural differences,
enforced rehoming to a MegaWarren in Wales, and the full power of
the ruling United Kingdom Anti-Rabbit Party against them, Peter and
Pippa are about to question everything they had ever thought about
their friends, their nation, and their species. An inimitable blend
of satire, fantasy, and thriller, The Constant Rabbit is the latest
dazzlingly original foray into Jasper Fforde's ever-astonishing
creative genius.
Witty, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is a gift for
troubled times. TJ Klune brings us a warm hug of a story about a
man who spent his life at the office - and his afterlife building a
home. From the author of joyous New York Times bestseller The House
in the Cerulean Sea. Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot,
the scones are fresh and the dead are just passing through. When a
reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own sparsely-attended
funeral, Wallace is outraged. But he begins to suspect she's right,
and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar
tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly
accepts the truth. Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his
life - even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting
colleagues and hectoring employees. He'd had no time for
frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with
Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing
something. The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident
ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So
when he's given one week to pass through the door to the other
side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days. Fans
of A Man Called Ove and The Good Place will fall for this queer
love story by TJ Klune. Praise for TJ Klune: 'I loved it. It is
like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect' - V. E.
