Following the deaths of her husband and son, Helen Cartwright returns from sixty years in Australia to the English village of her childhood. 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, and a way back into life itself.

I loved this delightful, charming, and poignant story. I fell in love with all the characters especially the eponymous hero. A quick read, the glow it leaves will linger long.

A magical story

wasn't quite what i expected, but nice to listen to a story that isnt entirely predictable. said a lot with very few words, and with great gentleness. narrator was perfect, and i am really glad for the very last sentence of the novel.

lovely
