THE BURROW BY MELANIE CHENG
Shortlisted for the 2025 Stella Prize & Longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award 2025
In her unforgettable new novel, Victorian Premier’s Literary Award-winner Melanie Cheng has created this year’s literary masterpiece.
Amy, Jin and Lucie are leading isolated lives in their partially renovated, inner city home. They are not happy, but they are also terrified of change. When they buy a pet rabbit for Lucie, and then Amy’s mother, Pauline, comes to stay, the family is forced to confront long-buried secrets. Will opening their hearts to the rabbit help them to heal or only invite further tragedy?
The Burrow tells an unforgettable story about grief and hope. With her characteristic compassion and eye for detail, Melanie Cheng reveals the lives of others-even of a small rabbit.
