Bookstagram put Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy on my reading radar this summer, and I'm so glad it did.

This is a quick yet impactful read that's sweet but not saccharine. The protagonist is an 83-year-old woman, a plus for readers who appreciate older main characters.

At a time when the society feels overwhelmingly self-centered, this story shows the impact of a single act of compassion. It was heartwarming to watch connections form among people who never would've met if not being united in a common act of kindness.

I'm grateful to be introduced to this author and look forward to exploring more of his books.
