Overview
From “a once in a generation talent” (Lucy Rose), a haunting hymn to queer love, this bruisingly tender debut is a testament to our ability to rebuild from the wreckage.
Moving to the countryside was supposed to fix Clare and Phoebe's relationship. A fresh start, a change of scenery, a chance to heal after a recent, monumental loss.
Instead, Phoebe feels suffocated. Back in the rural community she ran from at seventeen and unable to face the partner she cannot help, she throws herself into work on the family farm. Clare, uninitiated and out of place, spends her days drifting around the cottage, its walls groaning and shifting as she withdraws into a world inside her head. One day, wandering through the forest nearby, Clare finds a leveret – a baby hare. She names her Isla.
But as Isla becomes wild and unruly--a kicking, biting, scratching creature-Phoebe begins to question whether Isla is a cure for Clare or a strain on her sense of reality.
Debut author Anna Goldreich has transmuted grief into a dark and delicate fantasy of refuge. The Leveret pierces, then soothes, then leaves you gasping for air.
