From the bestselling author of Isaac and the Egg...

There is a fox, roaming in the early hours, watching, waiting on the edge of things.

He sees a family thrown together for the first time in years. A man with wild hair, growing older and confused; his son, lost and unconnected; a daughter denied her dreams; and a wife and mother about to leave them all.

He sees the moments - big and small - that have divided them. The nighttime disappearances, the angry footsteps on the stairs, the silence at the dinner table.

But why has the fox followed them here? And can they find their way back to each other, before it's too late?

Industry Reviews

A powerful story of losing ourselves and each other - and how the natural world can find us and put us back together again

I devoured this in forty-eight hours, it being about my very favourite reading topic: dysfunctional families and the many ways in which they can both fracture and heal. Its connection to the natural world makes this extra-special and almost poetic. A triumph

Lyrical and evocative, Small Hours is a book like no other, a beautiful testament to the importance of family and what it's truly like to be human

A tender and touching novel from the critically acclaimed author of Isaac and the Egg, this is one you're going to want to add to the top of your pile - Glamour
