Description
A gripping and thought-provoking novel based on a true story, Mary Toft; Or, the Rabbit Queen explores the complexities of human nature through the extraordinary events that unfolded in 18th-century England. In 1726, a young woman's mysterious pregnancies with dead rabbits shocked the medical community, leading to a series of events that would test the limits of logic and compassion. As the situation spirals out of control, the protagonist finds himself at the centre of a maelstrom of emotions, rivalries, and unyielding curiosity. Palmer masterfully weaves together themes of first love, rivalry, kindness, and spite to create a world that is both unsettling and strangely compelling.
