It isn’t long before Mrs Daphne Fox becomes suspicious, and St John is offered a choice: a life with the girl of his dreams, or a life with an all-too-real woman who delights him more than he cares to admit. And so she challenges him to join her in stories of their own devising, and the result is an exploration of love like no other. Mr Fox has a predilection for murdering his heroines. Mary Foxe (beautiful, British and 100% imaginary) is in a playfully combative mood. It’s an ordinary afternoon in 1938 for the celebrated American novelist St John Fox, hard at work in the study of his suburban home – until his long-absent muse wanders in. An exhilarating new direction for Helen Oyeyemi with a mischievous story of love, lies and inspiration
