Sipsworth

Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy is a touching, life-affirming story about grief, hope, and unexpected companionship. After losing her husband and son, elderly Helen Cartwright returns to her childhood village, planning only to live out her remaining days in solitude. But when she encounters a small mouse one winter night, her quiet routine begins to change. Over two transformative weeks, Helen rediscovers connection, kindness, and a reason to live. Heartfelt and beautifully written, Sipsworth is a gentle reminder that even in loss, life can still surprise us with moments of grace and hope.
