WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT is a mesmerising portrait of childhood and growing up; the loss of innocence, eccentricity and familial bonds. Spanning four decades, When God Was a Rabbit is as ambitious a debut novel as I have read in a while. Elly grows up in 1970s England in a darkly eccentric family. When God Was a Rabbit is the story of Elly, a young and memorable heroine and her loss of innocence. This has to be my most belated review to date, it was way, way back in November when I first began reading When God Was a Rabbit and a lot has changed since then. Reading When God was a Rabbit, a debut novel by Sarah Winman, I felt like I was putting on a comfortable, old sweater. Sarah Winman tells Elly Portman's story from two vantage points, her childhood in 1968 and her adult life in 1995. One that settles around you and makes you feel right at home, cozy and safe. When God Was a Rabbit is a story narrated by Elly, and focuses on her childhood in London and beyond. I recently wrapped up reading a book that I have been encouraging every reader I know to pick it up since I've finished.
