Heathcote, England – 1984

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…

Praise for WE ALL BEGIN AS STRANGERS by Harriet Cummings, a beautiful debut novel you'll want to recommend to everyone - for fans of Joanna Cannon, Rachel Joyce and Jessie Burton: Wonderful... Full of surprising twists, right up until the final revelations
Caroline Lea, author of WHEN THE SKY FELL APART
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
A dazzling debut... Beautifully plotted, fantastically written and compellingly strange

I was reminded of William Golding's 'The Lord of The Flies'... A book about community and how trusts can be so easily broken

Explores ideas of loneliness and longing
