The Keeper of Lost Souls is Anthony Peardew. He was once a widely-read author, but his life was changed when he lost his fiancee in a tragic accident. To help cope with the loss, Peardew seeks out lost objects and hopes to reunite them with those who lost them.
Keeper of Lost Souls is a story of losing and finding, of hope and redemption, of purpose and consolation. I think what I liked best about this story was the way all the plot elements came together in the end.

‘A life still scarred and cracked and misshapen but worth living nonetheless. A life with patches of blue sky amid the gray.’
