Description

Mary Toft was a woman living in poverty, misery and frequent pain in 18th century England. Her life was marked by neglect and obscurity, until a strange and astonishing phenomenon occurred. Mary Toft began giving birth to rabbits, a claim that would spark a wave of fascination and horror across the country. In "Mary and the Rabbit Dream", Noemi Kiss-Deaki reimagines this bizarre story, exploring themes of bodily autonomy, absurdity, and the cruel realities of poverty. The book is a powerful and thought-provoking tale that sheds light on the dark history of women's lives in this period. With exquisite wit and skill, Kiss-Deaki tells a story that is both deeply unsettling and compellingly readable. This is a book that matters, and one that will stay with readers long after they finish reading.
