The Fox of Kensal Green - Richard Tyrrell - diskuze

The Best New Fiction —The Mail on SundayDazzling Debuts to kickstart 2026 —Daily MailA quiet neighbourhood of London is about to be shattered. This is a story about people coming together and looking out for each other. No person is an island, including Wilf Kelly, its hero. Many neighbours help him out on the quiet. Also on the quiet, Wilf tames a wild fox and goes on a voyage of self-discovery. Normally, little happens in these mixed streets of families, retirees, podcasters and gossips. A little group create a community garden. An ageing journalist writes nature columns. A left-wing Scotsman longs for the glory days when he interviewed Castro. A disabled professor plans a book clearance. Supine Mario takes far too many drugs. And Wilf Kelly decides to get a fox as a pet. When Wilf is accused of an awful crime, he becomes the target of a police and media firestorm. It’s a drama that galvanises not just the local community but people from all around London. A superbly written debut novel with a big heart, that will make you laugh, cry and remind you of the power of community spirit.
