Overview:
Delightful and uplifting, this Ruth Hogan Collection brings together three beloved novels that celebrate memory, belonging and second chances. The Keeper of Lost Things follows Anthony Peardew, a once-celebrated writer who has spent a lifetime collecting lost objects as a quiet atonement for a promise he could not keep. In his final chapter, he entrusts his house and all its treasures to Laura, the one person he trusts to fulfil his legacy and reunite each item with its rightful owner. Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel sweeps you to Brighton, where a charming, imperfect hotel becomes a sanctuary for misfits and a little girl named Tilly who loves life, ghosts, and rituals of belonging. The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes follows Masha, a woman shaped by grief, whose path crosses two extraordinary women—Kitty Muriel and Sally Red Shoes—whose friendship invites fresh possibilities and healing. Together, these novels offer warmth, humour, and a quiet magic that makes everyday life feel a little brighter and more meaningful.

Books Included in This Collection:
The Keeper of Lost Things
In this heartfelt tale, Anthony Peardew, a once celebrated short-story writer, has spent a lifetime collecting lost objects to atone for a promise broken long ago. As his days dwindle, he entrusts his house and all its treasures to Laura, the one person he believes can fulfil his legacy and reunite each item with its rightful owner. The story blends warmth with a touch of mystery, inviting readers to consider how memories attach themselves to objects and how small acts of care can change lives. A gentle, sparkling meditation on grief, hope, and the power of letting go.
Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel
Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel unfolds in a Brighton hotel that feels almost alive with memory and misfit charm. Tilly, a bright, curious girl who loves life, ghosts, and a big, boisterous family, experiences a childhood altered when her mother sends her away to boarding school. The novel traces themes of home, belonging, and resilience as the hotel and its eclectic residents become a sanctuary where ordinary days bloom into extraordinary moments. A tender, witty portrait of finding family where you least expect it.
The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes
Masha’s world has been shaped by a twelve-year shadow of grief, her faithful dog Haizum nearby for comfort, and a quiet shoreline that holds memory. A chance encounter with two remarkable companions—Kitty Muriel, a convent girl turned magician’s wife, and Sally Red Shoes, a bag lady with a prodigious voice—opens new windows of possibility. This novel explores healing, companionship, and the courage to start living again, even after loss. A luminous reminder that friendship can illuminate even the darkest chapters.
