Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week I’m featuring a heart-warming character-driven novella, Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy.

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

My Summary:

In the course of one week, Helen Cartwright finds a new purpose in life and makes a few new friends. Helen has returned to the small village in which she grew up to live out her remaining years. Everyone from her past has moved on. Helen is widowed and grieves the loss of her husband and grown son, and she establishes a quiet life for herself holding fast to her routines. She’s lonely but resigned. One day, she finds a mouse in her house and in the spirit of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, this discovery and her reactions change her life.
