"Reads like a crazed cross between Watership Down and Nineteen
Eighty-Four." --The Guardian "Every book of Fforde's seems to be a
cause for celebration." -- Charles Yu, The New York Times Book
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.
