Publisher's Summary
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.

Cute easy story to listen to
I liked this story as it wasn't heavy. It was a nice easy listen.
I found that I didn't care as much about the secondary story lines however and that at times the focus of this book wavered. The lost things actually play a very small role and then they also throw in a ghost and psychic visions....it is a lot
But overall was an enjoyable listen.

Adored this book!
I adored this book. The characters were very interesting in a kind of normal way most people are. It kind of reminded me of a Mauve Binchey story which I loved very much! Their stories were woven together beautifully. The narrators were brilliant, they added such life to the characters, I truly didn’t want the story to end!

I loved this story! #Audible1
This book was quirky, fun and interesting. I wish I could read the stories in the book referenced in the story. I love the explanation of where lost things originated and how they all tied together in the end. #Audible1

sweet story
I found this book a bit hard to follow at first and a bit slow but as the characters were developed my enjoyment did as well. My favorite character is Sunshine as she was portrayed and read as a bright and sensitive girl. Well done!
