Has Mary stolen the baby from next door? Has the baby's mother, Mary's neighbor, left her there in her acute state of post-natal depression? Or was the baby brought to Mary as a gift by the fox who is increasingly coming to dominate her life?So opens How to Be Human, a novel set in a London suburb beset by urban foxes.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE 2018. In evocative prose, Cocozza explores the psyche of a troubled woman, inviting readers to share her intense connection with a fox. When Mary encounters a magnificent fox on her lawn, it marks the beginning of a profound relationship. The fox, with his striking presence, brings what Mary perceives as gifts and gradually becomes a part of her life. As he listens to her, Mary begins to rediscover herself after years of silence, much to the dismay of her ex-boyfriend and judgmental neighbors who prefer wildlife that conforms to their expectations. Inside Mary, a wildness emerges that defies taming. This debut novel blurs the lines between sanity and obsession, offering a thrilling exploration of what it means to be human. Critics have praised it as enchanting, restrained, and startling, with a gripping psychodrama that evokes Hitchcockian tension. The narrative shifts from urban pastoral to tense thriller, showcasing Cocozza's keen eye for detail and uncanny descriptions of nature. The complex dynamics of relationships are insightfully portrayed, providing constant surprises in this taut and shimmering work.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - SHORTLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE 2018'In evocative and elegant prose Cocozza delves deep into the psyche of a strange and troubled woman. The reader is invited to share in her intense connection to a fox and will admire the author's mordantly witty dissection of contemporary manners.' -Sarah Perry, chair of Judges for Desmond Elliott PrizeYou've seen a fox. Come face to face in an unexpected place, or at an unexpected moment.And he has looked at you, as you have looked at him. As if he has something to tell you, or you have something to tell him.But what if it didn't stop there When Mary arrives home from work one day to find a magnificent fox on her lawn - his ears spiked in attention and every hair bristling with his power to surprise - it is only the beginning. He brings gifts (at least, Mary imagines they are gifts), and gradually makes himself at home. And as he listens to Mary, Mary listens back. She begins to hear herself for the first time in years. Her bullish ex-boyfriend, still lurking on the fringes of her life, would be appalled. So would the neighbours with a new baby. They only like wildlife that fits with the decor. But inside Mary a wildness is growing that will not be tamed. In this extraordinary debut, the lines between sanity and safety, obsession and delusion blur, in a thrilling exploration of what makes us human.__________________________________'An intriguing and subversive debut, charged with the power of the ignored and the suppressed.'
