Voices of Today: Contemporary Fiction Series - Rabbit Moon with Jennifer Haigh

Part of our Voices of Today Series

Jennifer Haigh, winner of the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award, presents Rabbit Moon, a tense, propulsive drama set in Shanghai. When estranged parents Claire and Aaron rush to their daughter Lindsey’s side after a tragic accident, they confront the buried secrets that shattered their family. Meanwhile, Lindsey’s only confidante, her sister Grace, holds the key to her hidden life. With Haigh’s signature psychological depth, Rabbit Moon explores the unbreakable bond between sisters, the enduring ties of marriage, and the mysteries of a city where nothing is as it seems.
