Lost Property by Helen Paris is a contemporary story that follows Dot Watson and her life in the London Transport Lost Property office. Her life at the Lost Property office is eventful and exciting, with each day bringing forward the possibility of reuniting an owner with their lost items. Dot finds purpose in her job and is dedicated to the greatest extent, and takes utmost care in cataloging the items. The clear and detailed descriptions of each item and her thoughts on each of them help us form a precise picture of who Dot is as a person. While Dot is dedicated, detail-oriented and makes sure to reunite people with their lost items, she tries to find ways to be not lost in her life. Some past events have led her down a path that was different from her initial plan, and she makes sure to get the best out of it despite the roadblocks they present. One such lost item leads her down a path that is unexpected and helps her heal from her losses and take back her life.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read with interesting characters, unusual but a singular setting that sets the story apart, and charming moments to fill your heart up. I gave the book 4 stars and highly recommend checking it out. It’s a great book to get lost in and let Dot take us through her life.
