THE RABBIT HUTCH

Author Tess Gunty and four acclaimed narrators present this unique debut novel set in the La Lapiniere Affordable Housing complex, which is generally called "The Rabbit Hutch." Narrator Suzanne Toren captures the personality of the young resident Blondine, who is obsessed with the writings of female Christian mystics. Scott Brick sounds gentle yet sinister as he portrays the teenage tenants who have just placed out of the foster care system in the chapter called "A Game of Clue." Also worth recognizing are the chapters presented by Kirby Heyborne and Kyla Garcia. All the characters in this striking novel are dysfunctional, yet listeners will care deeply about their fates as they live crammed together in this crumbling apartment building in an Indiana factory town long past its heyday.
