It's been twelve years since inseparable childhood friends Lejla and Sara have spoken, but an unexpected phone call thrusts Sara back into a world she left behind, a language she's buried, and painful memories that rise unbidden to the surface. Lejla's magnetic pull hasn't lessened despite the distance between Dublin and Bosnia or the years of silence imposed by a youthful misunderstanding, and Sara finds herself returning home, driven by curiosity and guilt. Embarking on a road trip from Bosnia to Vienna in search of Lejla's exiled brother Armin, the two travel down the rabbit hole of their shared past and question how they've arrived at their present, disparate realities. As their journey takes them further from their homeland, Sara realizes that she can never truly escape her past or Lejla?the two are intrinsically linked, but perpetually on opposite sides of the looking glass. As they approach their final destination, Sara contends with the chaos of their relationship. Lejla's conflicting memories of their past, further complicated by the divisions brought on by the dissolution of Yugoslavia during their childhoods, forces Sara to reckon with her own perceived reality. Like Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend, Catch the Rabbit lays bare the intricacies of female friendship and all the ways in which two people can hurt, love, disappoint, and misunderstand one another.

      Sara is on a journey. Called out of the blue by Lejla, Sara leaves her life behind to help her oldest friend and ultimate foil. Tanya Cubric is a fine narrator; vocally, her style is colorful and authentic, although her pacing sometimes accelerates at random, leaving the listener scrambling to keep up. Translated from Serbo-Croatian, this novel is often lyrical and arresting. Many descriptions are distinctive and sparkle as delivered in Cubric's graceful tone. Dialogue, however, has a strained air to it, which may be caused by language differences. The plot takes a circuitous route as it traces Sara's choices, which can be difficult to follow in the audio format. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
