Description: "Ruth Hogan is the queen of uplifting fiction and Madame Burova reminds us why. Each character is lovingly crafted, their stories beautifully and heartbreakingly woven into something magical. The writing crackles with humor and warmth whilst not being afraid to tackle the harsh realities of racism in the 1970s. It's the kind of story you want to devour greedily but then feel bereft that you won't get to spend more time with Imelda, Cillian, Billie, Treasure, and all the other glorious characters. I can't imagine a better book in which to lose yourself at the moment. Stunning, immersive and absolutely wonderful." - Annie Lyons, author of The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett "Woke up early to finish this breathtakingly beautiful story. Ruth Hogan's Madame Burova is absolutely wonderful." - Celia Anderson, author of The Cottage of Curiosities "From the attention-grabbing opening paragraph, to the joyful conclusion, Ruth Hogan has stirred together a charming fairytale in which the people may be more lost than the things; and generosity and compassion may be the key to finding a way home. Also there are dogs. Delightful." - Helen Simonson, author of The Summer Before the War and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, on The Keeper of Lost Things "A beautiful story of love, loss, and the redemptive power of friendship." - Catherine Hall, author of The Proof of Love, on The Keeper of Lost Things "Hogan's writing has the soothing warmth of the cups of cocoa and tea her characters regularly dispense...old-fashioned storytelling with a sprinkling of magic." - Kirkus on The Keeper of Lost Things "Hogan's first novel reveals how even discarded items have significance and seemingly random objects, people, and places are all interconnected." - Booklist on The Keeper of Lost Things "[A] gentle tale about kindness and redemption, wherein lost souls and lost objects get rejoined in unusual ways to restore people's happiness and even lay ghosts to rest in a feel-good debut novel that's hard to walk away from." - New York Journal of Books on The Keeper of Lost Things
