Publisher's Synopsis
Objects That Stayed
We all keep things we don't need. A chipped mug. A single spoon. A tangle of old cables in a drawer we never quite empty. But sometimes, if we're lucky, those things keep us too.
In this quiet, sharply observed collection, Paul Little explores the emotional life of the objects we live alongside - the domestic leftovers, misplaced mementos, and half-forgotten tools of survival that quietly absorb the shape of our lives. Each piece is a small act of remembrance: a story of love, loss, loneliness, or resilience, tucked inside something ordinary.
Told with wit, warmth, and devastating clarity, Objects That Stayed is not just about what we hold onto - it's about what holds onto us.
