「星星即使在數億光年之外爆炸，光芒仍會留在地球的夜空中。
儘管在不完美的命運中相遇，留下的痕跡並非傷痛，而是美好的缺憾。」
海瑟是個平凡的女孩，雖然她罹患甲狀腺癌，而且已經進入末期。不過，醫學奇蹟縮小了腫瘤，賦予她更多時間思考。對她而言，她的生命就像一顆不定時炸彈，面對死亡，她只想走得輕巧，不想活在太多人的記憶裡，以免讓她愛的人受到傷害。
奧古斯都是個開朗、自信的男孩，即使骨肉瘤害他失去半條腿，仍然肯定生命中簡單的喜悅。只是，他害怕被人遺忘，希望可以累積更多美好的回憶，並且永遠活在人們的記憶裡。
在隨時可能畫下句點的生命裡，兩人在這個或許不是那麼美好，又帶有一絲缺憾的世界裡相遇，彷彿兩顆星星，彼此碰撞、迸發出新的光芒……

Fairy-tale romances end with a wedding, and the fairy tales don't get complicated. In this book, the celebrated writer Mr. Fox can't stop himself from killing off the heroines of his novels, and neither can his wife, Daphne. It's not until Mary, his muse, comes to life and transforms him from author into subject that his story begins to unfold differently.
Mary challenges Mr. Fox to join her in stories of their own devising; and in different times and places, the two of them seek each other, find each other, thwart each other, and try to stay together, even when the roles they inhabit seem to forbid it. Their adventures twist the fairy tale into nine variations, exploding and teasing conventions of genre and romance, and each iteration explores the fears that come with accepting a lifelong bond. Meanwhile, Daphne becomes convinced that her husband is having an affair, and finds her way into Mary and Mr. Fox's game. And so Mr. Fox is offered a choice: Will it be 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?
The extraordinarily gifted Helen Oyeyemi has written a love story like no other. Mr. Fox is a magical book, endlessly inventive, as witty and charming as it is profound in its truths about how we learn to be with one another.

Sly and dry intelligence agent Harry Palmer is tasked with investigating British Intelligence security, and is soon enmeshed in a world of double-dealing, kidnap and murder when he finds a traitor operating at the heart of the secret service.
