One day, a stranger from the city arrives with alarming 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 he leaves, Henrietta won't have a chance to miss him, because she won't be left alone--not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in Reid's sharp and evocative style, \u003ci\u003eFoe\u003c\/i\u003e examines the nature of domestic relationships, self-determination, and what it means to be (or not to be) a person. An eerily entrancing page-turner, it churns with unease and suspense from the first words to its shocking finale.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIain Reid is the author of four previous books, including his \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling debut novel \u003ci\u003eI'm Thinking of Ending Things\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been translated into more than twenty languages.
