When God Was a Rabbit

I have hidden major spoilers to aid my memory. Read them at your peril.

Story of a woman,  her brother and her school friend in 2 parts. First part, when they were children and kept a terrible secret from everyone else she was sexually abused by their neighbour whom she didn't want to reject because he was her then only friend. Also, the brother never got over being rejected by a boy who was the love of his life   Second part as adults, dealing with the fallout.  Also, the friend ended up in jail The first part is best. Small amount of magical realism around the rabbit. 

All characters excellent, writing very good. Inventive. Loved it.
