 Junior and Henrietta are a quiet married couple. They live a comfortable, isolated life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with surprising news: Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm... very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when Junior leaves, Hen won't have a chance to miss him at all, because she won't be left alone - not even for a moment. Hen will have company. Familiar company. An eerily entrancing page-turner, Foe churns with unease and suspense from the first words to its shocking finale. 'Reid pulls off a wonderful twist' Guardian 'A master storyteller' LA Review of Books 'Spare, consuming, unforgettable' Claudia Dey
