A Keeper

Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after the death of her mother, primarily to check on the family home which will need to be sold. But when she discovers a box of letters in a box in her mother's wardrobe, Elizabeth becomes aware that her past may be very different from what she has been told. Then the family solicitor asks her to come and see him about a codicil in her mother's will. Elizabeth realises that while she is in Ireland she needs to investigate her family story. Alternate sections of the book provide the backgound to Patricia Keene's story.

A Keeper By Graham Norton is largely about relationships and the effect that grief can have on a family. Norton also explores how parents being over protective of their children can lead to unforseen consequences.
