Everything that' s lost belongs somewhere. Dot Watson just needs to be found. Every day, in the London Transport Lost Property Office, Dot Watson diligently catalogues the objects found on buses, tubes and trains. She' s the custodian of hundreds of black umbrellas, a surprising number of shoes and one mid-century sofa. But it' s not only the objects that are lost. Twelve years ago, Dot' s life veered unexpectedly off course and she' s never quite recovered. Like Dot, Mr Appleby has lost more than just a bag. His late wife' s purse was inside and he' s desperate to be reunited with it. Determined to help, Dot sets off to solve the mystery of the missing purse. Along the way she might just find something even more important - herself.
An enthralling read, full of rich descriptions and characters you can' t help but love. * Hazel Prior, bestselling author of Away with the Penguins *
Helen Paris worked in the performing arts for two decades, touring internationally with her London-based theatre company Curious. After several years living in San Francisco and working as a theatre professor at Stanford University, she returned to the UK to focus on writing fiction. As part of her research for a performance called ' Lost & Found' , Paris shadowed employees in the Baker Street Lost Property office for a week, an experience that sparked her imagination and inspired this novel.
