The Keeper Of Lost Things

**The Keeper of Lost Things** by **Ruth Hogan** is a gently enchanting piece of contemporary fiction that blends cosy mystery, friendship and second chances into a story book lovers tend to savour.

Anthony Peardew, once a successful short-story writer, has spent decades rescuing lost objects—buttons, trinkets, keepsakes—each one held as a quiet act of atonement for an old mistake. When he dies, he leaves his home and its peculiar collection to his assistant, Laura, along with a request: find the owners and return what’s been lost. As Laura begins to follow the threads behind each item, she’s drawn into a web of small lives, unexpected connections and hopeful new beginnings.

Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven novels, warm British settings, and stories about grief, belonging and community.
