Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Isaac and the Egg...

'I devoured this... my very favourite reading topic: dysfunctional families and the many ways in which they can both fracture and heal' Jennie Godfrey

'One to turn to if you want to laugh and cry on alternating pages' Lottie Hazell

---

There is a fox, roaming in the early hours, watching, waiting on the edge of things.

He sees a family thrown together for the first time in years. A man with wild hair, growing older and confused; his son, lost and unconnected; a daughter denied her dreams; and a wife and mother about to leave them all.

He sees the moments - big and small - that have divided them. The nighttime disappearances, the angry footsteps on the stairs, the silence at the dinner table.

But why has the fox followed them here? And can they find their way back to each other, before it's too late?
