How do you even talk to a fox? She brings out her camping chair, sits as close to him as she dares, and begins reading to him from The Little Prince. Then one day she realises she has company: a mangy-looking fox who starts showing up at her house every afternoon at 4.15pm.

After finishing her PhD in biology, she built herself a tiny cottage on an isolated plot of land in Montana, in a place as far away from other people as possible.

"If there's one book you pick up this summer, make it this one." - Washington Post
