Description:
"Laura is seven years old when her parents' political sympathies begin to draw the attention of the dictator's regime. Before long, her father is imprisoned and Laura and her mother are forced to leave their apartment in the capital of Buenos Aires to go into hiding in a small, rundown house on the outskirts. This is the 'rabbit house' where the resistance movement is building a secret printing press, and setting up a rabbit farm to conceal their underground activity." "Intensely remembered and powerfully evoked, The Rabbit House is a compelling account of growing up under a dictatorship, depicting a world hedged in by secrecy and the dangers of discovery, where bonds of trust are forged and then violently betrayed."
