When God Was a Rabbit 
Spanning four decades, from 1968 onwards, this is the story of a fabulous but flawed family and the slew of ordinary and extraordinary incidents that shape their everyday lives. It is a story about childhood and growing up, loss of innocence, eccentricity, familial ties and friendships, love and life. Stripped down to its bare bones, it’s about the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.
SOMEONES insecure with their literary knowledge. Ive read some terrible books in my time, but have never been as personally offended by one as this

2.75 stars rounded up to 3.0 This 2011 novel has been on my list for years and after finding it at a second hand bookstore, I was excited to finally have my chance to experience this intriguing title. Although I don't regret reading this in my free time, I am not exactly sure what the fuss was/is all about. I tend to describe this book as a love story between a brother and a sister-a story of how secrets are forged in childhood and are carried through to adulthood.( Sarah Winman, Author's
This is one of those ubiquitous books that I ended up reading mainly because I kept seeing it everywhere, and it turned out to be a lot better than I thought it might be, given its obvious popularity. The plot revolves around Elly, who narrates the story, her brother Joe, and their eccentric family and acquaintances - most notably Elly's best friend, the strange and striking Jenny Penny. The book is divided into two halves - Elly's childhood, beginning in 1968, and her adulthood, from 1995
Theres only one word to describe Sarah Winmans When God Was A Rabbit disjointed.If you read reviews on this and see critics describing it as having an elegiac, simple beauty, you cant help but think that book reviewers like that serve only one purpose: to deter you from reading that book.The story is supposed to be about a brother and sister named Joe and Elly but mostly, its about Elly, who, as a child, is whimsically drawn and makes you excited to read the book.As we hop, skip, jump through
Firstly, this is a fiction book of two halves. First half I was loving the book and would have given it five stars. Second half I loved it less so three stars. Rather than go for the average Ill keep the overall review at three stars. Good book, unusual but messy I will explain further.The fictional character of Elly is a real British girl. Born in 1968, she charts her life around popular culture and world events as she becomes self-aware and of what it means to be British, female and part of

After reading the terrific Tin Man I needed to read something else by Sarah Winman.There's something etheral, inexplicable about Sarah Winman's writing. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's different, it's imperfect, but, it's so darn affecting. It's like loving someone deeply when you've passed the stage of blind love, the excitement of the newness. You get to know the quirks and the annoying bits, but you're still in love with that person. That's how I felt about this novel. It's the littleSOMEONES insecure with their literary knowledge.
