Little Rabbit

'A sweetly shocking novel exploring identity, love, lust, friendship, art, pain and possession' Ms
When she first meets the choreographer at an artists' residency, they don't hit it off. But when he invites her to watch his dance company perform, something shifts. Their interaction at the show sets off a summer of expanding sexual boundaries. Over weekends sequestered at his summer house in upstate New York, her body learns to obediently follow his, and his desires quickly become inextricable from her pleasure - and her pain.
Back in Boston, her roommate's concern amplifies her own doubts about these heady weekend retreats. What does it mean for a young, queer woman to be with an older man? For a fledgling artist to attach herself to an established one? And does falling in love have to mean eviscerating yourself?
'Bold, frightening and magnificent... Little Rabbit tells truths about sex, the self, and art-making that I'd never seen on the page' Vulture
'Hard to put down, sexy and not predictable' Buzzfeed
