THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'The Constant Rabbit is Jasper
Fforde's most chilling and realistic book yet' Guardian 'You won't
read anything quite like this in 2020 - or beyond that too'
CultureFly *** England, 2020. There are 1.2 million human-sized
rabbits living in the UK. They can walk, talk and drive cars, the
result of an Inexplicable Anthropomorphising Event fifty-five years
ago. And a family of rabbits is about to move into Much Hemlock, a
cosy little village 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. But Mrs Constance Rabbit is made
of sterner stuff, and her family are behind her. Unusually, so are
their neighbours, long-time residents Peter Knox and his daughter
Pippa, who soon find 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'd ever
thought about their friends, their nation, and their species. It'll
take a rabbit to teach a human humanity . . . PRAISE FOR JASPER
FFORDE 'Sheer inventiveness, wit, complexity, erudition,
unexpectedness and originality' The Times 'Is there anyone who can
write satire quite like Fforde?. . . An astonishingly well-crafted
work of social and political satire.' Kirkus 'Fforde presents a
milquetoast cog in an absurdly bureaucratic wheel, this time
cleverly skewering Brexit, conservative politics, and white
supremacy in this surprisingly uplifting tale of one man doing his
best, even if it is the bare minimum.' Booklist 'The Constant
Rabbit is designed to shake readers out of that complacency: to
recognise that merely holding liberal values is not enough to
prevent the quickening advance of racism and xenophobia in this
country. One must act.' Financial Times 'A serious minded comedy'
Mail on Sunday READERS LOVE THE CONSTANT RABBIT 'This is Jasper
Fforde at his absolute best. Clever, thought-provoking and
relevant, whilst maintaining the absurdity that we have come to
love Fforde for' 5* 'A real classic - the sort of book that will be
read in fifty or a hundred years' time' 5* '[Jasper Fforde's]
ability to take something relatively normal and turn it on it's
head is sublime, ridiculous and so enjoyable! Quirky, funny,
satirical tale with pertinent reflections on current times.' 5*
'This book couldn't have come at a better time. Frighteningly
poignant given the state of world. It's a truly wonderful piece of
work that belongs right up there with Orwell.' 5* 'This is Jasper
Fforde at his finest. A witty, thought provoking read that makes
you sit up and take note of all the things going on around you.
Love this author, was already a fan, but now even more so.' 5* 'I
knew within minutes of starting the opening chapter that this was
Fforde at the top of his game.' 5*
