'Charming, witty and warm, Small Miracles is a gentle gem of a novel, a cheery balm in troubling times,' AJ Pearce, bestselling author of Dear Mrs Bird Small Miracles takes the reader on an uplifting journey as three unforgettable nuns learn more about life, love and friendship than they could ever have imagined.

That is, until ninety-year-old Cecilia decides to play the newly launched National Lottery and a series of small miracles begins to unfold... Three nuns play the lottery to save their failing convent, resulting in a story of friendship, community, faith and love, for fans of Call the Midwife.

Autorenporträt
Anne Booth has had all sorts of jobs, including washing up in a restaurant, working as a tour guide in a haunted almshouse, bookselling, teaching English in Italy, lecturing at university and being a long-term carer for her elderly parents. She has published 25 children's books and Small Miracles is her first novel for adults. All her childhood and teenage years she wanted to be a nun, and although she has ended up happily married with four children, she still feels inspired by the many kind nuns and religious Sisters she has met.
