If you want a little piece of joy in your reading life, buy it' Jojo Moyes 'Loaded with charm, resilience, and the deep desire for connection that all mammals share. I loved it' Ann Patchett 'Utterly charming and beautifully written, Sipsworth is a tender tale about loss, loneliness and the healing power of connection that you won't want to put down' Mike Gayle 'Utterly charming and heartwarming' Ruth Hogan, The Keeper of Lost Things 'Beautiful and enchanting'Washington Post 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.
