A cow looks out to sea, dreaming of a life that involves grass.Jan is also looking out to sea. He's in Goa, dreaming of the passport-thief who stole his heart (and his passport) forty-six years ago. Back then, fate kept bringing them together, but lately it seems to have given up.Jan has not. In his long search he has accidentally held a whole town at imaginary gunpoint in Soviet Russia, stalked the proprietors of an international illegal lamp-trafficking scam and done his very best to avoid any kind of work involving the packing of fish. Now he thinks if he just waits, if he just does nothing at all, maybe fate will find it easier to reunite them.His story spans fifty-four years, ten countries, two imperfect criminals (and one rather perfect one), twenty-two different animals and an annoying teenager who justWillNotLeave.But maybe an annoying teenager is exactly what Jan needs to help him find the missing thief?Featuring a menagerie of creatures, each with its own story to tell, We Are Animals is a quirky, heart-warming tale of lost love, unlikely friendships and the certainty of fate (or lack thereof).For the first time in her life the cow noticed the sun setting, and it was glorious.

Industry Reviews

'A debut of magical charm, wit and humour. Echoing the spirit and the style of Jonas Jonasson, Ewins has a wondrous voice of his own' - Yorkshire Times, 'The feel-good story we all need right now' - Popsugar, 'Warm, funny and original - one of my favourite books of the year' - Frances Quinn, 'An amazingly inventive, funny book that deals with fate, love, teenagers and chance. It's like Life of Pi on its gap year. Utterly brilliant!' - Victoria Dowd, 'A heartwarming tale of lost love and unlikely friendships, featuring a menagerie of animals who each have their story to tell' - Waitrose Weekend, 'A witty, engaging, offbeat tale of a decades-spanning love, set in various locations across the world and co-starring several animals' - Bristol 24/7
