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...

Critics Review
-
An enthralling read, full of rich descriptions and characters you can’t help but love
Hazel Prior, bestselling author of Away with the Penguins -
A wonderfully rich, funny book. Shades of Eleanor Oliphant and Dear Mrs Bird, but also entirely its own. Dot is a treasure waiting to be found
Beth Morrey -
A lovely novel about loss and reconnection…both satisfying and joyful
Lissa Evans -
Emotionally rich and character-led, Lost Property is a sharply funny, wise and warming story
Anne Cater, The Daily Express -
Funny and heart-warming
That's Life
