The novel about the girl Ellie and her brother Joe, about their parents and her friend Jenny Penny, about the guests who come to the hotel, lost in the picturesque wilderness of Wales, and become members of the family, about the limits of the necessary self -defense and the rabbit by the nickname God. The action of this unique family chronicle covers for several decades, and Ellie recalls under the curtain that it has gone: “About the witness of my soul, about his children's shadow, about those times when the dreams were small and fulfilled. When the sweets cost Penny, and God was a rabbit. ”
