"This is the story of Mary Toft, a woman who gave birth to dead rabbits in 1726. She did this more than 10 times, confounding surgeons and townsfolk alike. Is this a hoax, a curse, a miracle, or something in between? Based on a true story--if you are not familiar with it, don't look it up until you finish the book!--we follow surgeon John Howard and apprentice Zachary as they try to understand what is going on with their stunning patient. I highly enjoyed this disturbing novel. It is brutal, unexpected, and unputdownable."
