The Constant Rabbit by Jasper Fforde

Bookseller Review by Elle:

Jasper Fforde satirises Britain’s political and cultural climate with the eccentric and absurd metaphor of 6ft anthropomorphised rabbits who are alienated from the rest of society. UKARP leader and PM Nigel Smethweck has a plan to move all of the rabbit population to a government facility in Wales. However, our single dad and Rabbit Compliance Officer protagonist Peter, finds himself sympathising with the rabbit cause when his old flame Connie (a rabbit) moves into his neighbourhood with her rabbit husband.

‘The Constant Rabbit’ doesn’t pull any punches – its metaphors are purposefully thinly veiled and it is incredibly on-the-nose to really drive its agenda home. The world created by Fforde is a dystopic, slightly distorted vision of a future Britain. A book packed with humour that will really make you think.
