From Graham Norton, the BAFTA award-winning Irish television host and author, comes a masterly and haunting tale of secrets and ill-fated love that follows a young woman who 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.

A Keeper confirms Graham Norton's status as a fresh and evocative literary voice, and illustrates his clear-eyed understanding of human nature and its darkest flaws.
