In a low-cost housing complex in Vacca Vale, Indiana, Blandine, an online obituary writer and young mother with a dark secret, navigates life alongside three teenage boys from the foster care system. Set over a sweltering week in July, the novel culminates in a violent act that changes everything, exploring themes of loneliness, longing, and freedom in contemporary America. Written with a keen eye for intimacy, "The Rabbit Hutch" is described as savagely beautiful and bitingly funny, offering a provocative snapshot of lives intertwined within the confines of a shared space.
