Hailing from a middle-class background, he now enjoys newfound independence, which has led to his acceptance into the fading grandeur of country houses. However, it's the early 1990s, and the elite circle he finds himself in is grappling with a sense of irrelevance. Cut off from the mainstream and lacking substantial inherited wealth, his peers have retreated into snobbery and a fatalistic mindset. Initially captivated by their poised demeanor and indulgent lifestyle, Tommo gradually becomes aware of sinister undercurrents and a simmering rage that threatens to erupt into violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis world is a tapestry of half-remembered traditions intertwined with decadence and a peculiar abundance of small dead animals. Sometimes, these secrets extend beyond the realm of animals, as Tommo's friend Johnnie's brother is discovered dead, holding a shotgun at his feet. In this newfound realization, Tommo comprehends that there are secrets that everyone knows, yet no one dares to speak about or acknowledge. The time for hiding these secrets has come to an end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the story unfolds, Tommo's quest for the truth becomes increasingly intense, leading him to confront the dark forces that lurk within the prestigious boarding school. With each turn, the plot twists and turns, keeping readers engaged and entertained with a perfect balance of outrageous laughs and unexpected twists. Alexander Larman, in his review for The Observer, praises the book for its ability to \"keep the outrageous laughs and twists coming in equal measure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 464g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 x 147 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781846976704\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Rifkind","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46207631819002,"sku":"9781846976704","price":10.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717905945439_book.jpg?v=1717956924","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/rabbits-9781846976704","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
