Over the course of a single week, a woman who is ready to die discovers an unexpected reason to live.
Following the deaths of her husband and son, Helen Cartwright returns to the English village of her childhood after living abroad for six decades. 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.
Sipsworth is a reminder that there can be second chances. No matter what we have planned for ourselves, sometimes the world has plans of its own. Simon Van Booy's lyrical storytelling is a delight even as it will fill your heart.

I was immediately immersed in the story and found it so meaningful and touching and sweet.

Reminiscent in some ways of Remarkably Bright Creatures and A Man Called Ove but somewhat smaller in scope. A semi-realistic fairytale for the elderly is how I’d categorize it.
Beautiful and brief and a little strange
