Then the Hare – Michelle O’Sullivan 72pp
Then the Hare displays further examples of Michelle O’Sullivan’s precision of detail and feeling, rendering them in her signature idiosyncrasy of syntax and word use. These are countered by an extended narrative, ‘A Winter in Milan’ and the chancy playfulness of ‘On Business’. The result is an intriguing, satisfying whole destined to endure.
