'Hypnotic and very moving' Beth Morrey, author, The Love Story of Missy Carmichael

Enid isn't clear about much these days. But she does feel a strong affinity with Olivia, a regular visitor to her dementia home in a small coastal town. If only she could put her finger on why.

Their silent partnership intensifies when Enid, hoping to reconnect with her husband Roy, escapes from the home. With help from an imaginary macaw, she uncovers some uncomfortable truths about Olivia's marriage and delves into her own forgotten past.

A deeply touching story of love, age and companionship, evoking the unnoticed everyday moments that can mean the world to the people living them, Tim Ewins' second novel will delight fans of his acclaimed debut, We Are Animals.
Industry Reviews
'A powerful and poignant story about love and loss, frailty and courage. Beautifully imagined and peopled with strong, endearing characters, this book both gripped me and touched my heart" Hazel Prior; 'A poignant, poetically fractured tale of two women trapped by circumstance, the bittersweet circle of life and love. I found it strangely hypnotic and very moving' Beth Morrey; 'One of the most beautiful portrayals of love I've ever read. I will always remember Enid and Roy' A.J. West; 'A wonderful, poignant and powerful read. I absolutely loved it. There's such tenderness there, and great clarity too'. Matson Taylor; 'He's done it again. Tiny Pieces of Enid is warm and moving and full of heart. If it doesn't make you cry more than once, I don't know what's wrong with you'. Frances Quinn; 'Compelling and sad and hopeful, but never sentimental. A warm hug of a book, as comforting as chicken soup and just as nourishing' Polly Crosby; 'A beautiful, sensitive, lyrical portrait of the reality of living with dementia, and the twists and turns our lives take, up until the very end' Victoria Scott; ?'A moving and thoughtful examination of memory and ageing, with a central character you can't help but root for. A wonderful story about love and friendship and the 'tiny pieces' that make us who we are'? Rebecca Ley; 'I was deeply moved by this delicate, beautiful book. A sensitive and poignant story' Victoria Dowd?; 'A poignant, warm, and thought-provoking story' Susan A. King?; 'A powerful and moving story about dementia and love that lasts a lifetime. Unflinching and heartbreaking. I loved it' Nicola Gill?; 'Moving and timely. Brilliantly evokes the drama of the everyday that may go unnoticed by others, but for those involved takes on Titanic proportions. Superb'? Tom Benjamin?; 'A beautiful book, its pages suffused with warmth and humanity. It truly moved me and will stay with me a long, long time'? Louise Fein; 'Tim Ewins brings his own brand of quirky to something very different. Tiny Pieces of Enid is a tender, poignant, and elegiac portrayal of love and loss and the indomitable nature of the human spirit. If you don't love Enid like a member of your own family after reading this book then you have no soul!' Cat Walker; 'Enid is a delight. Her story tells of a love that defies everything, while the rendition of her mental decline is drawn with sensitivity and compassion. I couldn't put this down' Paula Greenlees; 'Like a bird layering twigs to build a nest, Ewins has woven together past and present, memory and reality to create a startlingly beautiful novel with complex characters walking the fine line between fragility and strength. An absolute delight' Laura Besley;
