I devoured The Fox! Such a clever but human story of two lives colliding. My heart wouldn’t stop thumping
Sara Cox
The Fox is a compelling, unforgettable and deeply original novel. A profound meditation on grief, loneliness, and the enduring human need for connection . . . beautiful, tender, mysterious and a sharply observed portrayal of midlife, full of intrigue and with the irresistible pace of a page-turner

Annie Macmanus can write. The Fox is a beautifully natural but offbeat story of love and betrayal. Strangely tense and serene all at once
Matt Haig
In The Fox, Macmanus's strengths are plain to see; this is powerful writing with psychologically complex characters. She plots so skilfully and subverts and upends our expectations of what a modern day love story might look like

53-year-old Carmel is furious at her husband for dying. Grief-stricken and holding everything together for her adult sons, she’s never felt more alone. But as spring arrives in Dublin, she meets fellow widower Graham on a dating app. He makes her feel truly alive for the first time in years.
Across the sea in London, twenty-something Lisa devotes her life to helping people. Beneath the gleaming facades of Westminster, she cares for the homeless at work, and for her troubled sister at home. But Lisa has a secret that sustains her, and it’s growing more dangerous by the day.
