A compelling and moving story, expertly told, that will draw you in and keep you in its grip until the last page. - DAILY EXPRESS Magnificent ... his writing is evocative and perfect. His grasp of human loneliness and longing is beautiful and comforting. Atmospheric, creepy and impossible to put down. - THE TIMES I raved about Holding two years ago ... A Keeper is even better. A powerful, very sad story, beautiful writing, two time frames that are perfectly balanced. Outstanding. Will easily be one of my books of 2018. A gripping, thoughtful tale about the search for identity, belonging and self-possession. - OBSERVER Moving and darkly funny. - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Smart, well-written and thoroughly entertaining. - IRISH INDEPENDENT It's a sad and lovely book, brimful of tenderness and compassion, where the revelations of the past upturn the perceptions of the present. - SUNDAY EXPRESS
