The Suburban Timeshare
 The story focuses on four neighbouring households in a quiet suburban village south of Manchester: one of them is a family of foxes. The book is episodic in form, touching on a day here and a night there. The days belong to the people and the nights to the foxes (hence, The Suburban Timeshare), and the structure of the book reflects this pattern of life, with alternating chapters switching between human and fox viewpoint. Often there is an overlap between the chapters just as people and foxes overlap at dusk and dawn, interacting warily though amicably, each puzzling over the other's nature. Novel questions arise: We may feel that we have developed a genuine friendship with an animal in the wild, but how does the animal see it? And what are the chances of meaningful communication between humans and wildlife? There are four sections, covering four consecutive years from cubbing time to the next mating season. The total four-year period spans the lifetime of one particular fox, from his birth to his death. He is a member of the first litter born in the area, so this period also represents the first few years of contact between people and foxes. When the foxes first arrive, they evoke the usual mixed feelings - surprise, curiosity, some admiration, some fear. But over the ensuing years the human neighbours find that their lives are enriched in unforeseen ways. Emotional bonds develop, sufficiently powerful to cause both rapture and pain. A kind of love. Author's note - Realism versus Anthropomorphism: I aim to portray fox behaviour in a way that is emphatically realistic. Indeed, though my main purpose is to tell a story of our time, I would like to think that, by the end, the reader is reasonably well informed about the ways of a fox. TREGOLWYN BOOK REVIEWS says...This delightful story... grabs the reader's attention and keeps hold of it - I was hooked after the first few paragraphs. Stunning prose...the style is vivid and economical with startling use of metaphor. I loved the understated humour... remarkable story-telling talent.

If it weren't for the human characters to whom half the action belongs, "The Suburban Timeshare" could almost be non-fiction. The author is a fox enthusiast who knows his stuff, and it is his deep emotional attachment to the subject that makes this such a compelling read. Nor does Mr Hillel, for all his love of the species, ever descend into sentimentality. How does a human being manage to put himself so completely and so convincingly inside the skin of a "dumb" animal? I have no idea. It requires a degree of skill and understanding far beyond what most writers possess. [http://tregolwyn.tripod.com/tregolwyn/index.html] DR J DAVID HENRY [author of, 'Red Fox, The Catlike Canine'] says...A fine book. Your descriptions of the foxes are fresh and insightful, and make them come alive on the pages of the book. These passages are Vulpine Ecology expressed in a completely new way. It's a real joy to read. SOME READERS' COMMENTS...

Customer Review: very informative
I am a little surprised with TS being a Billion Dollar Industry there are no reviews here....except one plus mine. This book IS expensive, I guess I am lucky I bought it last week when it only cost 37 bucks. Now, I myself am a TS-salesperson and that is why I purchased the book. Now, there is not THAT many pictures in there, but the ones that there are are quite ok. It also features some nice brand-names like Marriott, Hilton etc. For credibility. I bought the book because I want to use it as a selling-tool. I am not sure if I will actually bring it to the presentation or just read it and learn some facts....anyway, the book will make you appear more knowledgeable because you will be more knowledgeable. It's like a fact-book. It actually sold me on the idea that selling TS is a good thing because the facts are based on thousands of surveys, this is a Ragatz-study. Ragatz is (I think it's not named Ragatz anymore) a RCI consulting firm. So I guess we are pretty much dealing with the truth here and it kind of verifies that most TS-owners really are quite happy. So bottom-line: selling is about credibility, so if you know more and can position yourself as an expert you will be more credible and like so sell more. The book is actualy flat. A bit larger in format but flat, not too heavy, one could store it togehter in your case with your pitch-book. Not one hundred percent up to date, from 1998, but enough to throw some facts around and remind you - like so - what the benefits of TS-Owndership really are (I sometimes forget) and some general trends that will certainly hold true today.
