Over deze titel
 Graham Norton's debut novel HOLDING was a Sunday Times bestseller and loved by readers everywhere. His new novel, A KEEPER, is a twisted tale of secrets and ill-fated loves that once again demonstrates Norton's understanding of human nature and all its darkest flaws.

The mystery of Elizabeth Keane's father is one that has never been solved by the people of Buncarragh - not for lack of speculation.

Her mother Patricia had been assumed a spinster, until she began dating a mysterious man from out of town, and within months had left Buncarragh and had married. Less than two years later, Patricia was back, with a new baby in her arms, but no new husband by her side and unbendingly silent about her recent past. A secret she would take with her to her grave.

Now, as Elizabeth returns to the village after her mother's funeral, bringing with her her own regrets and wounds, she finds a thin pile of ribbon-bound letters at the back of a wardrobe that may at last hold the key to her past:

Dear Lonely Leinster Lady,

I'm not really sure how to begin...

Absolutely loved it, the story, the twists, the Irishness and of course Graham Norton's reading - I can only thoroughly recommend it!

simply brilliant

I loved this book. The story is clever, sad and funny, told with the famous irish humour and wonderful irish turn of phrase.

I imagine for non native speakers some of the humour may be lost. My tipp, don't take some of the phrases too literally!!

Graham Norton is a brilliant narrator and I throughly enjoyed putting on my head phones and being taken on a journey starting in 60's Irland were laughter and the fear of scandal co-existed right up to the smartphone era.

My one negative...in the middle I got a bit bored and fast forwarded one chapter a little..... sorry Garham!

I would definitely recommend this book!

Great Irish Drama

I can't help it, I enjoy listening to Graham Norton. He is great at nerrating.
And I like the persons in this novel. The story is good but a little bit predictable. All in all a solid story.
