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.

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.
