A Keeper

The gripping and atmospheric bestselling novel of family secrets

De: Graham Norton

Narrado por: Graham Norton

Graham Norton's debut novel HOLDING was a Sunday Times bestseller and loved by readers everywhere. His new novel, A KEEPER, is a twisted tale of secrets and ill-fated loves that once again demonstrates Norton's understanding of human nature and all its darkest flaws.

The mystery of Elizabeth Keane's father is one that has never been solved by the people of Buncarragh - not for lack of speculation.

Her mother Patricia had been assumed a spinster, until she began dating a mysterious man from out of town, and within months had left Buncarragh and had married. Less than two years later, Patricia was back, with a new baby in her arms, but no new husband by her side and unbendingly silent about her recent past. A secret she would take with her to her grave.

Now, as Elizabeth returns to the village after her mother's funeral, bringing with her her own regrets and wounds, she finds a thin pile of ribbon-bound letters at the back of a wardrobe that may at last hold the key to her past:

Dear Lonely Leinster Lady,

I'm not really sure how to begin...

Excellent

Very different than the first but equally intriguing. I love the complex characters and twists and turns. Add to that GN’s wonderful narration and you have a mystery wrapped in an Irish story worth telling.

Another wonderful story!

I have always enjoyed Graham Norton and thoroughly enjoyed his first book. This one is just as good. The characters are well developed and relatable. His narration is spot on. The back and forth between "then" and "now" was an interesting idea and well executed. I found I couldn't wait to get back to listening whenever I had to stop. Excellent stories. I highly recommend this if you enjoy a good mystery! I look forward to the next book by this talented writer!!!

Very gripping

Well written and with gripping and thrilling story the book kept me intrigued the whole time. Got a real feeling of Ireland and it's people and customs. Highly recommend!

Thumbs up
