About this listen
Winner of the Richard and Judy autumn book club 2017.
One of the Mail on Sunday's 'Best books for the beach this summer'
Meet the Keeper of Lost Things....
Once a celebrated author of short stories now in his twilight years, Anthony Peardew has spent half his life collecting lost objects, trying to atone for a promise broken many years before.
Realising he is running out of time, he leaves his house and all its lost treasures to his assistant Laura, the one person he can trust to fulfil his legacy and reunite the thousands of objects with their rightful owners.
But the final wishes of the Keeper of Lost Things have unforeseen repercussions which trigger a most serendipitous series of encounters....
And if you loved The Keeper of Lost Things, don't miss Ruth Hogan's second novel The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes, which is out now.
©2017 Ruth Hogan (P)2017 John Murray PressCritic Reviews
"One of the most charming novels either of us has read. Don't lose it. Keep it." (Richard & Judy)
"The first book I read in 2017 - and if another as good comes along in the next 12 months, I'll eat my special gold reviewing spectacles." (Daily Mail)
"Captures perfectly and heartbreakingly the small moments on which a life can turn." (Kirsty Wark, author of The Legacy of Elizabeth Pringle.)

Heartwarming and delightful
I loved this book! It’s just like a cup of the lovely tea made by Sunshine and an escape into a simpler, kinder world. One of my favourites for 2022, I didn’t want it to end. Thank you for such an uplifting, warm hug of a story.

Thoroughly enjoyable❣️
Great characters inextricably bound together by the lost things in the tale. Some wonderful LOL moments thanks to the lovable, direct and wise Sunshine.

A grand idea for a story.
The narrator of this story was great. Creating all the characters. I loved Sunshine and the lovely cuppa tea. But the story was hard to follow at times with the two threads. Also it would have been good to hear of more of the lost things and those stories too. Overall this was light and enjoyable.

A lovely story about friendship and kindness.
The story had a gentleness, and inclusiveness to it I liked. A celebration of the introvert.
