"An Episode of Sparrows" is a novel by Rumer Godden. First published in 1955, it tells the story of Lovejoy Mason, a young girl living in post-World War II London.

Set in the impoverished neighborhood of Soho, Lovejoy is determined to create a beautiful garden in the midst of the urban decay. Despite the odds stacked against her, including lack of money and support, Lovejoy's passion for gardening drives her to transform a neglected bomb site into a lush and vibrant sanctuary.

As Lovejoy tends to her garden, she becomes acquainted with other residents of Soho, including two young boys, Tip and Sparkey, who help her with her project. Through their friendship and shared love of gardening, Lovejoy and the boys find hope and redemption amidst the challenges of their surroundings.

"An Episode of Sparrows" is celebrated for its evocative portrayal of post-war London, its memorable characters, and its themes of resilience, community, and the power of nature to heal. Rumer Godden's lyrical prose and keen insights into human nature make it a timeless and beloved novel that continues to resonate with readers today.
