Brought to you by Penguin.

A story of hope, forgiveness and kindness, Lost Property reminds us to keep our loved ones (along with our bags and umbrellas) close...

----------------

One lost purse.
One lost woman.
A chance encounter that changes everything.

Dot Watson has lost her way. Wracked with guilt and struggling with grief, she has tucked herself away in the London Transport Lost Property office, finding solace in the process of cataloguing misplaced things. It's not glamorous or exciting, but it's solitary - just the way Dot likes it.

That is, until elderly Mr Appleby walks through the door in search of his late wife's purse and Dot immediately feels a connection to him. Determined to help, she sets off on an extraordinary journey, one that could lead Dot to reclaim her life and find where she truly belongs...

'An enthralling read, full of rich descriptions and characters you can't help but love.' Hazel Prior

Dot is a treasure waiting to be found A lovely novel about loss and reconnection...both satisfying and joyful Emotionally rich and character-led, Lost Property is a sharply funny, wise and warming story Funny and heart-warming Expand reviews
