Özet
 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...

I enjoyed Graham reading this book to me. His voices were just right and really brought the tale to life. It was an intriguing opening which raised questions, some of which kept me guessing right until the last couple of chapters.
Occasionally is was confusing as we went from THEN to NOW, quite frequently, but not a major problem.
Overall very enjoyable listening which kept me happily diverted on a couple of long drives.

Norton's narration brings his story to life and the writing I found to be excellent. The storyline itself is slow and rather incongruous but somewhat engaging in parts. A disappointingly abrupt ending that feels like the author has become bored with the story, for me, detracts from what was a good listen. Worth listening to for Norton's narration alone but wouldn't pick up the book in a hurry.

Mediocre story, good writing, fantastic narration
