All It Will Take
Geoffrey Robert's new novel is a powerful allegory inspired by Watership Down and based on the life of Nelson Mandela.
​
In a land where the earth remembers every injustice and the wind still whispers the names of forgotten heroes, two rabbits are born on opposite sides of a deepening divide. Nell, the son of a black warren leader, longs for open fields and a life without fear. Levi, heir to a white supremacist governor, clings to a vanishing past.
When Nell meets Ollie — an orphan doe with nothing to lose and everything to believe in — their protest becomes a movement, their defiance a revolution. As loyalties are tested and long-buried truths come to light, can these rabbits find a path to unity — or will the cycle of hatred keep turning?
All It Will Take is a timely allegory of resistance and reckoning — a tale for an age when history threatens to repeat, and silence is no longer an option.

Available in paperback, as an ebook, or in a special hardcover edition with exclusive discussion points for reflective readers.
Author's note
All It Will Take has been four decades in the making. The novel was born of a question I couldn’t let go: what happens when those on the margins find the courage to resist — and to lead? Inspired by my travels in apartheid South Africa during the 1980s and by literary works like Watership Down and Animal Farm, this story uses rabbits to explore power, justice, and the quiet bravery of those who speak truth to it.
