This month's book club will be reading the Carroll County on the Same Page title (shared with the Camden, Flora and Delphi Libraries).
This year's selection is The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan.
Anthony Peardew is the keeper of lost things. Forty years ago he lost a keepsake from his beloved fiancée, Therese. That same day, she died unexpectedly. Brokenhearted, Anthony sought consolation in rescuing lost objects - the things others have dropped, misplaced, or accidently left behind - and writing stories about them. Now, in the twilight of his life, Anthony worries that he has not fully discharged his duty to reconcile all the lost things with their owners. As the end nears, he bequeaths his secret life's mission to his unsuspecting assistant, Laura, leaving her his house and all its lost treasures, including an irritable ghost. But the final wishes of the Keeper of 'lost things' have unforeseen repercussions that trigger a most serendipitous series of encounters...
