She can’t recall what started her collection. Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge), she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they always had done, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to her.

When Janice starts cleaning for Mrs B—a shrewd and tricksy woman in her 90s—she meets someone who wants to hear her story. But Janice is clear: she is the keeper of stories, she doesn’t have a story to tell. At least, not one she can share.

Mrs B is no fool and knows there is more to Janice than meets the eye. What is she hiding? After all, doesn’t everyone have a story to tell?

Affirming everyday life

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2022

This is a life-affirming book in which ordinary people each have their own story that will resonate with the reader. These ordinary stories are not usually heard but here they are told with such empathy and understanding that you feel you really know the characters and become absorbed in their lives and what happens to them. I have read this book three times now and I find new insights on each reading. I recommend this book highly and look forward to further books by this author.

Utterly lovely book

I have been unwell in bed this week so has the opportunity to whiz through this gorgeous book in one day.
I really loved the location, the characters and the plot.
I felt as though I was being carried along to every house the main character visited, the description was so thorough. The dog she walked sounded absolutely adorable too.
I kind of felt sorry for the main character being married to such a selfish awful man, but she triumphed in the end.
Very very lovely style of writing.

A novel about history, friendship and generational relationship.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2022

The Keeper of Stories is a novel about a woman named Janice, who is a cleaner, and befriends one of her clients, and bit by bit is told stories which reveals the history and life of the 'posh' old woman. This client relationship soon becomes a friendship between the two ladies.
I enjoyed reading this book although I struggled with the plot.i have had a lot on my mind, so the problem may not be the plot of the novel, it may just be me. Although, I think I were to read it again I would enjoy it a little more and perhaps garner more from the story.
One thing I must say is that the characters are real and vivid, and the old woman reminded me of the manipulative old woman in '' Away irh the Penfuins''. I am rating this book 3 out of 5 stars, although I would not be surprised if a reread would result in a higher rating.

This is a fabulous heartwarming story. I loved Janice. Although I wasn't sure how she had the time to clean for all those people. Her own story gave her the strength to accept other people' s stories. A keeper of stories, is a must read .

What a fabulous book! Intriguing to the last, I can usually predict fairly accurately the way a book will pan out but not this one. Highly recommend.

Beautifully written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2022

I really, really enjoyed this. I enjoyed all the principle characters, but equally, the overheard snippets of conversation and lives of those whose stories contributed to the main thread. I found it both engaging - I wanted to keep reading - and relaxing. A very simple beauty to it. I am looking forward to the author's second book already !

Easy reading and relatable. Made me laugh out loud and also shed a tear. A really lovely book to read…and a good reminder that people get second chances…and that we should all tell stories.
