Waterloo Bridge, London. Two strangers collide : Attila, a Ghanaian psychiatrist, and Jean, an American studying urban foxes. Jean joins Attila in his search for his niece's missing son, and mobilises the network of volunteer fox- spotters she has built up, mainly from the West African immigrants working London's streets and hotel doorways. As Jean and Attila's friendship deepens, Forna asks us to consider the values of the society we live in, our co-existence with one another and all living creatures - and the true nature of happiness.
