Woman Who Gave Birth To Rabbits Book

Shoutout to my fellow virgo, Pucca, for getting me this wonderful, wonderful book.

The Woman Who Gave Birth To Rabbits is a short story collection based on various, interesting history facts from England and Ireland. From cross-dressing contesses to desperate hoaxes, this book is pouring life into fun facts that might have came into your life, bring a passing smile on your face and then disappear forever from your mind. From amusing, little reminiscenses to goose-bumping fervour, this book stands as a testament of a world that has once been. The nerd in me screamed in delight; give me history and good writing and I'm yours.

What I liked especially about this collection is that at the end of each short story, there is a note, where Emma Donoghue talks about the sources of inspiration for her story, adding recommended reads on each topic. I'm pretty sure I will check out some of those.

Overall, a very good collection, with too little weaker stories to even be mentioned and I am so glad to know about so many weird, interesting and creepy things that happened throughout history.
