Descripció de l’editorial
A young woman’s coming-of-age through a toxic relationship, isolation, and betrayal—set against the stark landscape of the far north
Millicent is a shy twenty-four-year-old reporter who moves to Whitehorse to work for a failing daily newspaper. With winter looming and the Yukon descending into darkness, Millicent begins a relationship with Pascal, an eccentric and charming middle-aged filmmaker who lives on a converted school bus in a Walmart parking lot. What begins as a romantic adventure soon turns toxic, and Millicent finds herself struggling not to lose herself and her voice.
Events come to a head at Thaw di Gras, a celebration in faraway Dawson City marking the return of light to the north. It’s here, in a frontier mining town filled with drunken tourists, eclectic locals, and sparkling burlesque dancers, that Millicent must choose between staying with Pascal or finally standing up to her abuser.
In the style of Ottessa Moshfegh’s honest exploration of dysfunctional relationships, and with the warmth and energy of Heather O’Neill, Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit illuminates what it’s like to be young, impulsive, and in love in one of the harshest environments in the world.
RESSENYA DE L’APPLE BOOKS
Canadian novelist Nadine Sander-Green takes us on a journey to the Arctic with this coming-of-age tale of a young woman struggling to assert her identity while stuck in a toxic relationship. Inexperienced twentysomething journalist Millicent moves to the Yukon for her first “real” job. She stumbles into a relationship with Pascal, a seemingly wise, free-spirited filmmaker living an earthy life out of a converted bus—only to discover a pushy side beneath his eccentric exterior. Sander-Green’s prose makes for an immersive read: Her vivid style truly transported us to the crisp air and boreal forests of Canada’s North. But she also captures the rough-edged people living in this wilderness, from the world-weary editor of a scrappy local newspaper to the chilled-out transplant escaping the Toronto rat race. More than just a slice of life in Canada’s hard-nosed north, Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit is a shining story of how we can fall for the idea of somebody, only to discover the truth later on—and how we can learn from it.
