Description
FROM THE WINNER OF THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2022
'Reading The Saint of Lost Things was one of those perfect reading experiences that come along very occasionally; it's moving, funny, tragic, triumphant, totally gripping, a pure gift of a novel' DONAL RYAN
'Superb' FINANCIAL TIMES
'You'll be moved, you might laugh and there may well be redemption' EVENING STANDARD
'Thoroughly absorbing' GUARDIAN
Lindy Morris is stuck. She lives in rural Ireland, banished to a lonely bungalow by her Granda Morris, with only her Auntie Bell and the TV for company.
But one day Lindy realises that life is not quite what she thought it was: her mother's disappearance and her own lost years need to be brought out into the light. Suddenly Lindy is awake, uncovering the very secrets that will release her from her past.
Told with devastating wit and poignancy, THE SAINT OF LOST THINGS is the triumphant story of an unlikely heroine as she makes her bid for freedom.

'You'll be moved, you might laugh and there may well be redemption' EVENING STANDARD
