Sipsworth is about a lady of 82 who's lived, loved, and lost a lot. She's back in England, where she grew up and is lonely and is basically waiting for her life to end.
Instead, she finds a mouse. She wants to return or just kill it in the beginning, but later comes to love the thing. This is a book about second chances and makes you ask the question about when lofe truly ends and its purposes.
I loved the book, I finished it in just a couple of days, which is crazy to me. It's also been a while since I've cried over a book, and I didn’t expect it to be over a mouse. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good contemporary.
