Rabbits by Hugo Rifkind

Tommo has just moved to a prestigious boarding school. A product of the middle class, and with new-found independence thrust upon him, he finds himself invited into fading crumbling country houses. It’s the early nineties and the elite he is now surrounded by is struggling for relevance. Alienated from the mainstream, and running low on inherited wealth, his peers have retreated into snobbery and fatalism. In this world, half remembered traditions mix with decadence and an awful lot of small dead animals. And sometimes, not just animals.
