Description

The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits: StoriesDonoghue finds her inspiration for these wry, robust tales in obscure scraps of historical records: an engraving of a woman giving birth to rabbits; a plague ballad; surgical case notes; theological pamphlets; an articulated skeleton. Here kings, surgeons, soldiers, and ladies of leisure rub shoulders with cross dressers, cult leaders, poisoners, and arsonists. Whether she's spinning the tale of an Irish soldier tricked into marrying a dowdy spinster,

Donoghue finds her inspiration for these wry, robust tales in obscure scraps of historical records: an engraving of a woman giving birth to rabbits; a plague ballad; surgical case notes; theological pamphlets; an articulated skeleton. Here kings, surgeons, soldiers, and ladies of leisure rub shoulders with cross-dressers, cult leaders, poisoners, and arsonists.

Whether she's spinning the tale of an Irish soldier tricked into marrying a dowdy spinster, a Victorian surgeon's attempts to improve women, a seventeenth-century countess who ran away to Italy disguised as a man, or an undead murderess returning for the maid she left behind to be executed in her place, Emma Donoghue brings to her stories an elegant, colorful prose filled with unforgettable sights, sounds and smells (Elle). Here she summons the ghosts of those women who counted for nothing in their own day, but who come to unforgettable life in fiction.

Great polos at a great price
Color: Blue/White, Size: Large
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of these shirts. A bit heavier of a fabric then I anticipated but will be perfect for spring and fall. The size (large) was in fact large. :)

Good for the price point
Color: Olive 09, Size: Medium
I bought this as a Christmas gift for one of my teen boys. I originally bought this shirt for our 16 year old but when I received it, I quickly realized the quality would be off putting to him, so I gifted it to one of my other boys that is not a material/brand snob. The color is spot on with the description. Our son loves the shirt’s thin knit and softness when wearing. The quality could be better but it’s good for the price point. Fits as described and is holding up to our fifteen year old nicely. Would buy again.

Perfect Fit, Perfect Material
Color: Lt Blue 09, Size: Large
Large was a perfect fit for me. Chest, shoulders and waste perfect. Arms surprisingly long as I have long arms (35”). I had to pull up the left sleeve to get out of my grip. Material was very soft, light and stretchy. Perfect to keep arms out of the sun and still cool enough on a 94 degree here in Florida. For those w a belly, this might not work. I have a flat stomach some love handles and somewhat squarish body type (not a V..I’m 71) so perfect belly space for me. I’m 6’, 185. The other issue for me is my shoulder arthritis and getting a sweaty shirt off, no problem. The shirt wicked away the water and the shirt was stretchy enough to get it off easily. I am going to wash it and make sure it holds it shape then if positive I will buy a couple more. I’ve tried several shirts, this is great!
