Happiness by Aminatta Forna

A chance collision on a London bridge connects an American fox researcher and a Ghanaian psychiatrist, unraveling questions about trauma, coexistence, and what happiness actually requires. Jean, who studies how foxes have adapted to city life, and Attila, a psychiatrist in London to deliver a keynote on trauma, meet by accident when a fox darts between them on Waterloo Bridge. From that small collision, Forna builds outward into a meditation on how people and animals alike learn to coexist with disruption, weaving in Attila's own past work in conflict zones including Sierra Leone alongside the more everyday frictions of city life. Salman Rushdie called it a terrific novel, and it was shortlisted for both the Ondaatje Prize and the Jhalak Prize.
