Sweet Pea is Kit de Waal's novel about Paulette, a young woman from St. Kitts building a life in England who loses the future she planned and rebuilds it around her son, Bird, and a second boy who calls her Sweet Pea. It is a quiet, character-driven book about grief, motherhood and everyday kindness rather than plot twists. Readers who liked de Waal's My Name Is Leon will recognize the same warmth toward children and overlooked lives; those wanting a fast, eventful story may find its pace slow.

Reviewers respond to the warmth and restraint of the writing and to Paulette as a memorable heroine. Many compare it favorably to de Waal's earlier work for its compassion without sentimentality. A few find the pacing gentle to a fault.
Sweet Pea is a novel about Paulette, who arrived in England as a young girl and left her grandmother behind in St. Kitts. Her grandmother called her "Sweet Pea," taught her to cook, and told her to avoid temptation and embrace love and forgiveness, in that order.
At twenty-nine, Paulette is close to her dream of a wedding, a baby, and a little house. She has a man, Denton, and a job as an assistant nurse. After tragedy strikes, her baby comes from Denton's friend, a relationship that can't last. She is left with her son, Bird.
Then another boy, the same age as Bird, appears. He calls her Sweet Pea and makes her laugh. Through friendships, motherhood, and unexpected connections, Paulette discovers strength in everyday acts of kindness.
