Description
Following the deaths of her husband and son, Helen Cartwright returns from sixty years in Australia to the English village of her childhood. Her only wish is to die quickly and without fuss. Helen retreats into her home on Westminster Crescent, becoming a creature of routine and habit. Then, one cold autumn night, a chance encounter with an abandoned pet mouse on the street outside her house sets Helen on a surprising journey of friendship and a way back into life itself. Sipsworth is a tender, charming and beautifully written tale about loss, loneliness and the healing power of connection, praised by Jojo Moyes, Ann Patchett, Mike Gayle, Ruth Hogan and the Washington Post.
