A Random Act of Kindness

‘Wonderfully uplifting’ Trisha Ashley

It only takes a moment, to change a life for ever…

Fern is too busy making sure other people feel good about themselves to give much thought to her own happiness. But somehow, without her noticing, life has run away from her.

Suddenly, Fern realises her vintage clothes business is struggling, and the casual relationship she’d always thought she was happy in doesn’t look so appealing.

But sometimes, karma really does come through. And when Fern goes out of her way to help 85-year-old Dinah, little does she realise their new friendship will change her life.

Dinah may have troubles in her past, but she’s lived and loved to the full. Can Dinah show Fern that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the world a better place?

If you liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine or How to Be Happy, you'll love A Random Act of Kindness.

· With themes of loneliness, friendship and kindness, this gorgeous rom-com debut ties in perfectly with the growing up-lit trend.

· Smart, socially awkward and acerbically funny, Fern Banks will remind readers of Eleanor Oliphant.

· Sophie Jenkins lives in London and draws on her expertise in vintage and houte couture to create the colourful world of Fern’s market stall.

· Sophie was formerly involved in the board of the RNA, and is extremely well connected. We anticipate glowing endorsements, and we already have a generous blurb from Trisha Ashley: 'A very compelling and wonderfully uplifting mix of romance, comedy, kindness and the friendship between the generations.'
