Marie isn't leaving him for another man, exactly. She is leaving him for the badgers. With the government's cull under way, she has found something she cares about more fiercely than she cares about Stuart, and nothing he says - not appeals to love, nor to reason, nor to the particular uselessness of badgers as romantic rivals - is going to change that.\n\nLeft alone in a mildewing London flat with a resentful cat and a single surviving basil plant, Stuart embarks on a campaign to win Marie back. What he discovers, instead, is a cast of people he never expected to meet - and a world he had never thought to enter.\n\nTold in Stuart's irresistibly companionable first-person voice,m
