Description: |
There is a secret at the heart of the town of Rabbit Back, involving its most famous occupant, a world-renowned children's author, and a strange literary game played by the local Literary Society. As Ella, an aspiring author, makes unsettling discoveries about White's and the Society's past, we explore the nature of literature and truth. |
Synopsis: |
A highly contagious book virus, a literary society and a Snow Queen-like disappearing author'She came to realise that under one reality there's always another. And another one under that.'Only very special people are chosen by children's author Laura White to join 'The Society', an elite group of writers in the small town of Rabbit Back.Now a tenth member has been selected: Ella, literature teacher and possessor of beautifully curving lips.But soon Ella discovers that the Society is not what it seems. What is its mysterious ritual, 'The Game'? What explains the strange disappearance that occurs at Laura's winter party, in a whirlwind of snow? Why are the words inside books starting to rearrange themselves? Was there once another tenth member, before her?Slowly, disturbing secrets that had been buried come to light...In this chilling, darkly funny novel, the uncanny brushes up against the everyday in the most beguiling and unexpected of ways. |
