What to expect
A mysterious figure is sneaking into homes through backdoors and open windows. Known locally as 'the Fox', he knows everything about everyone - leaving curious objects in their homes, or taking things from them.
When beloved Anna disappears, everyone believes the Fox is responsible.
For the villagers, finding Anna will be difficult - but stopping the Fox from exposing their darkest secrets might just be impossible...

I so enjoyed WE ALL BEGIN AS STRANGERS. No 'characters' in sight - just meticulous, tender, complex portraits of people
Emylia Hall, author of THE BOOK OF SUMMERS
-
I was reminded of William Golding's 'The Lord of The Flies'... A book about community and how trusts can be so easily broken
