‘Masterful storytelling’ CELIA ANDERSON
‘A powerful ode to friendship’ Fabulous
Her new chapter starts now…
Jo Sorsby is hiding from her past when she agrees to run her uncle’s beloved stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble little notes and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from her bruised heart.
When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian still finding himself, she suddenly realizes she isn’t alone.
They each have a story that can transform Jo’s life… if only she can let them in.
The perfect gift for book lovers, The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Bookshop in this gorgeous novel about secrets, second chances and finding friendship in the most unlikely places.

Praise for The Keeper of Stories
‘I absolutely loved it! So different, clever, funny and charming’ Sunday Times bestseller Katie Fforde
‘Funny, wise, moving and full of lovely moments…The characters are endearing and unforgettable’ Hazel Prior, author of the Richard & Judy Book Club Pick Away with the Penguins
‘Janice is a wonderful woman whose authenticity pulls you along…the breadth and originality of supporting characters makes this debut an immersive delight’ Dorset Magazine
‘Absolutely spellbinding…a warm-hearted, thoughtful, funny and yet deeply poignant’ Celia Anderson, author of 59 Memory Lane
‘A treasure of a book. Beautiful, emotional and heartfelt with a cornucopia of characters you’ll love spending time with’ Phaedra Patrick, author of The Library of Lost and Found
My impression of The Book of Beginnings is that this book serves as a blatant advertising campaign for Sally Page’s range of fountain pens. Also, if I hear the phrase ‘A place for everything and everything in it’s place’ I think my ears will bleed.
I’ll persevere and see if it improves, I’m really hoping that the characters and the story will develop and this will put it back on track.
I so wanted to love this book…
