The Rabbit & the Squirrel Hardcover by Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, Stina Wirsén

A love story about friendship. A fable for grown-ups, with illustrations by Stina Wirsen.

The Squirrel's greatest joy is dancing in the forest with the Rabbit--her beloved friend and equal of heart. While the duo is inseparable, fate has other ideas: the feisty Squirrel is forcibly married to a wealthy boar and the solitary Rabbit enlists in a monastery. Years later, a brief, tragic reunion finds them both transformed by personal defeats. And yet, to each other, they are unchanged, and their private world--where sorrow registered as rapture and wit concealed loss--is just how they had left it. A story of thwarted love, and an ode to the enduring pleasures of friendship, The Rabbit and the Squirrel is a charmed fable for grown-ups, in which one life, against all odds, is fated for the other.
