Resumen del Editor

A charming, clever, and quietly moving debut novel of endless possibilities and joyful discoveries that explores the promises we make and break, losing and finding ourselves, the objects that hold magic and meaning for our lives, and the surprising connections that bind us.

Lime green plastic flower-shaped hair bobbles - found on the playing field, Derrywood Park, 2nd September.

Bone china cup and saucer - found on a bench in Riveria Public Gardens, 31st October.

Anthony Peardew is the keeper of lost things. Forty years ago he carelessly lost a keepsake from his beloved fiancée, Therese. That very same day, she died unexpectedly. Brokenhearted, Anthony sought consolation in rescuing lost objects - the things others have dropped, misplaced, or accidently left behind - and writing stories about them. Now, in the twilight of his life, Anthony worries that he has not fully discharged his duty to reconcile all the lost things with their owners. As the end nears, he bequeaths his secret life's mission to his unsuspecting assistant, Laura, leaving her his house and all its lost treasures, including an irritable ghost.

Recovering from a bad divorce, Laura, in some ways, is one of Anthony's lost things. But when the lonely woman moves into his mansion, her life begins to change. She finds a new friend in the neighbor's quirky daughter, Sunshine, and a welcome distraction in Freddy, the rugged gardener. As the dark cloud engulfing her lifts, Laura, accompanied by her new companions, sets out to realize Anthony's last wish: reuniting his cherished lost objects with their owners.

Long ago, Eunice found a trinket on the London pavement and kept it through the years. Now, with her own end drawing near, she has lost something precious - a tragic twist of fate that forces her to break a promise she once made.

As the keeper of lost things, Laura holds the key to Anthony's and Eunice's redemption. But can she unlock the past and make the connections that will lay their spirits to rest?

Full of character, wit, and wisdom, The Keeper of Lost Things is a heartwarming tale that will enchant fans of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Garden Spells, Mrs. Queen Takes the Train, and The Silver Linings Playbook.

The Keeper of Lost Things

This story is beautifully woven into a tapestry of lives that intertwine and then come together in serendipitous ways. The reader does an excellent job of making each character distinct.
While listening to the characters making a “lively cup of tea” I was reminded of the tea my mother used to make for us. We called it “Momma’s special tea” and it was perfect!
If you are wanting a solid story with delightful characters then this is the book for you.

Takes a while to warm up

Takes a while to really get going but all the characters are richly described and engaging. There is a touch of romance, loyal friendships, and perhaps a ghost story too. Leaves you very satisfied.

Good book, but didn't love it.

Didn't come full circle until the literal end. wish I could have connected more with the main characters.

Wonderful. Loved it!!

I was hooked from the very beginning. I almost missed this wonderful read based on seeing a negative review. Obviously that person didn’t know what they were talking about. This Is now one of my all-time favorite books from audible.

The Keeper of Lost Things

This book was chosen for our bookclub
I wouldn’t have chosen it. I’m not a fan.
If I heard “a lovely cup of tea” one more time I would have screamed! Not my favorite book.
