When God was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman.
(Headline Review, 2011.)

For Elly and her brother Joe, one earth-shattering event threatens to break their bond forever.

This is a book about a brother and a sister. It's a book about growing up, friendship and families, triumph and tragedy and everything in between.
More than anything, it's a book about love in all its forms.

OK, to kick this month's book club off, what do you think is the central theme to the book?

What's the central theme of the book?
That's a great question, because up until the second half, I didn't have a clue. Up until the second half, I didn't really know what the story was - if someone had have asked me what it was about, I couldn't have told them.
Now, having finished it, I know it's love. Love and Loss. Or as Elly sums it up later on 'Lost and Found' (hope that doesn't give anything away to people that haven't read as far as I have).
What do you think Laura?

Laura, How are you getting on with the book?

I'm making my way through the book and I think I would agree. The impression I'm getting is that the theme is love but also self finding too.
When I read the first few pages I really didn't know what to think but now I'm a way through it, I'm finding it interesting.
