Bookstagram put Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy on my reading radar this summer, and I'm so glad it did.
This is a quick yet impactful read that's sweet but not saccharine. The protagonist is an 83-year-old woman, a plus for readers who appreciate older main characters.
At a time when the society feels overwhelmingly self-centered, this story shows the impact of a single act of compassion. It was heartwarming to watch connections form among people who never would've met if not being united in a common act of kindness.
I'm grateful to be introduced to this author and look forward to exploring more of his books.

It took me a bit to get into this book (I'm not even sure why I am saying that as it is not very long) but by the middle I was charmed. This is a sweet story of how a self-isolated widow finds community and hope thanks to a little mouse named Sipsworth.
