Sometimes, I need a break from reading thrillers and dark mysteries. Here’s my antidote to the twisted and chilling underworld of crime I usually read and write about!
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A joyful, feel-good story with unusual non-heroic characters. There’s a tender, bittersweet storyline about collecting and returning lost random items: umbrellas, hair clips, buttons. Each item has its own little story and there’s a second entirely separate thread which comes together, poignantly, with the first, at the end.
I love the writing style; gentle, thoughtful, unusual and exquisite! I spread my reading of this beautiful book out so that every day, I looked forward to re-entering the world of lost things as a refuge from everyday life! Completely transporting.
