Fernanda Eberstadt’s new book, Rat, is available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local book store.
“Fernanda Eberstadt’s dazzling Rat is a contemporary French fairy tale in which a fifteen year old Cinderella named Rat relies on her own goodness and grit to join the disparate halves of her unlikely, charmed, and difficult life. Eberstadt’s beautifully written tour de force touches on children parenting parents, abandonment and bravery, the ragtag legacy of the 60’s, modern terror, and the fact that, sometimes, in response to valiant effort, things still go miraculously right. Eberstadt is savvy and uncompromising, and Rat is wonderfully alive.”
—Jayne Anne Phillips, author of Lark and Termite
