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.

Misleading
Revisado: 03-13-17
Would you try another book from Ruth Hogan and/or Jane Collingwood and Sandra Duncan ?
Not if it involves ghosts. There is nothing in the review to inform us that this is a story where a ghost plays a prominent part after YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. There is now over 2 hours left and now the characters are dealing with a ghost!?!?! Why does it not tell anything about it in the synopsis? I know it is a novel but now I am completely disinterested and feel tricked.
Has The Keeper of Lost Things turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Well written but readable only if you like totally and completely impossible stories.
Any additional comments?
I think this story was misrepresented and would like a refund.

Kept in the Dark is a probing psychological portrait of the near destruction of a marriage - a novel that combines keen insights with vigorous emotional strength. Jealousy, guilt, excessive pride, and compulsion all sweep across its surface.

Horrible recording
Revisado: 06-23-15
Good example of a Trollope story, but unfortunately the recording quality renders it almost unlistenable.

It is 1866 and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky.

NO
What was most disappointing about Eleanor Catton’s story?
I just could not become empathetic, sympathetic or even partially interested in the characters. I cannot imagine why it is so highly rated and recommended.
