Happiness

"In Aminatta Forna’s masterful Happiness, an American scientist and a Ghanaian psychiatrist meet by chance on Waterloo Bridge. Both have devoted their lives to the study of how people and animals survive trauma and displacement. Now they, too, find themselves uprooted in London, but they come together to help a woman whose son may have been swept up in an immigration raid. With beautiful prose and unsparing honesty, Forna explores the repercussions of war and trauma, the power of love and friendship, and ultimately the ties that bind people and animals together."

"From Aminatta Forna's novel "Happiness," I learned that foxes have largely adapted to urban habitats."
