About this listen
From Graham Norton — the BAFTA Award–winning Irish television host and author of the “charming debut novel” (New York Journal of Books) Holding — a masterly and haunting tale of secrets and ill-fated love follows a young woman as she returns to Ireland after her mother’s death and unravels the identity of her father.
When Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother’s death, she’s focused only on saying goodbye to that dark and dismal part of her life. Her childhood home is packed solid with useless junk, her mother’s presence already fading. But within this mess, she discovers a small stash of letters — and ultimately, the truth.
Forty years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet except for the constant wind that encircles her as she hurries deeper into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea. She has no sense of where she is going, only that she must keep on.
With wistful and evocative prose, A Keeper is sure to appeal to “fans of sensitive character studies” (Publishers Weekly) and brilliantly illustrates Graham Norton’s clear-eyed understanding of human nature and its darkest flaws.

A Keeper is a keeper!
Loved, loved, loved this book! The mystery of the story is engaging. Graham’s humour had me laughing out loud. The last couple of chapters had me crying, and laughing. So good! He weaves a wonderful tale. I can’t wait to read more by him.

A Familiar voice and a splendid story
I really enjoyed this story and with Mr Norton narrating it made it feel very comfortable to listen to.
The story held me to the end and I appreciated the twists and turns.

Great mystery
This is an unpredictable and good story. I could not stop listening. It’s well written. I had a good laugh at some parts of the story.

EXCELLENT
I am a fan of Graham Norton's chat show on TV and 'who knew' he was an author as well - I didn't.
This book was such a good read - both heartwarming and sad at the same time. So well written, it just flowed from chapter to chapter (although he used 'now' and 'then') for each individual story. His narration was excellent and being Irish it suited the story nicely.
I'm impressed with his story telling. Very entertaining

Surprisingly good
I had no idea Graham Norton had written a novel so I took a chance on this purchase and I'm glad I did. The story has many twists and turns and is never boring. Norton brings the characters to life with his narration and dry wit.
