A tense, propulsive drama set in Shanghai, about a fractured American family, secret lives, and the unbreakable bond between two sisters, from the New York Times bestselling author of Mercy Street
 
Four years after their bitter divorce, Claire and Aaron Litvak get a phone call no parent is prepared for: their 22-year-old daughter Lindsey, teaching English in China during a college gap year, has been critically injured in a hit and run accident. At a Shanghai hospital they wait at her bedside, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. 
 
The accident unearths a deeper fissure in the family: the shocking event that ended the Litvaks’ marriage and turned Lindsey against them. Estranged from her parents, she has confided only in her younger sister, Grace, adopted as an infant from China. As Claire and Aaron struggle to get their bearings in bustling, cosmopolitan Shanghai, the newly prosperous “miracle city,” they face troubling questions about Lindsey’s life there, in which nothing is quite as it seems.
 
With Jennifer Haigh’s trademark psychological acuity, Rabbit Moon is a taut, suspenseful story about the ties of marriage that no divorce can sever, and the fabled red thread that pulls two sisters together across time and space. Haigh proves yet again that she is “an expertly nuanced storyteller…her work is gripping, real, and totally immersive” (New York Times).
 

Genre:

  • “Jennifer Haigh renders her characters and contemporary Shanghai with compelling richness and exhilarating precision. This taut, devastating novel about a young woman's dark fate—at once avoidable and inexorable—will remain with you long after you put it down.”
    Claire Messud
  • “Gripping, propulsive and entirely credible, Rabbit Moon succeeds in multiple dimensions and gets Shanghai right. Brava!”
    Gish Jen, author of Thank you, Mr. Nixon
