Readers love Small Things Like These:
'Gripping and very moving and thought-provoking ... brilliantly done, but also softly and slowly. You'll never regret reading this book, but it will haunt you for ever after.'
'I haven't loved a book for so long. This has changed it. Every word counted. Moral, heartfelt & a beautiful read.'
'This is a beautifully written story, both simple and profound. Set at Christmas, it is, in essence, an exploration of the best and the worst of what it is to be human. A stunning achievement.'
'A remarkable novel - short, succinct, moving. I read it in one sitting early on a Sunday morning before anybody else was up.'
'This book needs to sit and settle with the reader after it's read. Much lies here within what seems a simple tale. It strikes to the heart.'

Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason.
