La indústria automobilística ha abandonat Vacca Vale, Indiana, i també ha deixat enrere els seus habitants. Als afores, en un bloc de pisos tronat conegut com la Conillera, hi viu la jove Blandine, que comparteix pis amb tres nois als quals no enten ni aprecia, pero que la fascinen estranyament. Tots venen de families desestructurades i lluiten per trobar el seu lloc al mon. ¿Com arribar a ser adult en aquesta ciutat en ruines, en aquest mon al qual no li serveix de res la fragilitat de la joventut? Una instantania implacable i mordaç de la societat contemporania, una historia plena d?humor sobre la solitud, la nostalgia i la llibertat.

An online obituary writer. A young mother with a secret. A woman waging a solo campaign against rodents. Separated by the thin walls of the Rabbit Hutch, a low-cost housing complex in the run-down Indiana town of Vacca Vale, these individual lives unfold.But Blandine is different. Ethereally beautiful and formidably intelligent, she shares an apartment with three teenage boys she neither likes nor understands, all of them - like her - products of the state foster system. Plagued by her past, let down by the very structures that were supposed to keep her safe, she spends her days reading Dante and dreaming of becoming a female mystic.Until, that is, one sweltering week in July culminates in an act of violence that will change everything, and finally offer her a chance to escape. Blandine is desperate to save a community that has been left behind, but that salvation will come at a terrible price.Bristling with intelligence and humour, The Rabbit Hutch is a piercing look at a community on the brink, from a major new voice in American fiction.
