A charming, clever, and quietly moving debut novel of of
endless possibilities and joyful discoveries that explores the
promises we make and break, losing and finding ourselves, the
objects that hold magic and meaning for our lives, and the
surprising connections that bind us. Anthony Peardew is the
keeper of lost things. Forty years ago, he carelessly lost a
keepsake from his beloved fiancée, Therese. That very same day,
she died unexpectedly. Brokenhearted, Anthony sought consolation
in rescuing lost objects—the things others have dropped,
misplaced, or accidently left behind—and writing stories about
them. Now, in the twilight of his life, Anthony worries that he
has not fully discharged his duty to reconcile all the lost
things with their owners. As the end nears, he bequeaths his
secret life’s mission to his unsuspecting assistant, Laura,
leaving her his house and all its lost treasures, including an
irritable ghost. Full of character, wit, and wisdom, The Keeper
of Lost Things is heartwarming tale.
