Sběratel ztracených věcí


Sběratel ztracených věcí je příběh o spisovateli na odpočinku Anthonym Pear dewovi, jenž před čtyřiceti lety ztratil vzácný dárek, který mu na památku věnovala jeho snoubenka Therese. Tím, že upomínku ztratil, porušil jediný slib, který si na něm kdy vyžádala. Téhož dne pak Therese nečekaně zemřela. Anthony se snaží odčinit svou vinu tak, že zachraňuje věci, jež jiní lidé ztratili, a píše o nich příběhy. Teď, na sklonku života, se však bojí, že neudělal dost, a přenechá své asistentce Lauře dokončení úkolu, který si předsevzal a který před ní do té doby tajil. Anthony Lauře odkáže svůj dům, zahradníka a nešťastného ducha své mrtvé snoubenky. S pomocí zahradníka Freddyho, zvláštní dívky odvedle jménem Sunshine a psího nalezence Karotky musí Laura dokončit to, co Anthony začal, a najít způsob, jak mu pomoci znovu se shledat s jeho ztracenou láskou.

Az elveszett tárgyak őrzője


Ha londoni sétáikat felidézve eszükbe jut egy görnyedt alak, aki a fejét lehajtva a járdákat és a csatornalefolyók környékét kutatja, akkor önök minden bizonnyal Anthony Peardew-val találkoztak. A férfi harminc évvel ezelőtt elveszített egy medált, amelyet a menyasszonyától, Therese-től kapott. Ugyanazon napon a sors váratlanul elragadta tőle a szeretett kedvest is. Ettől kezdve Anthonyt csak a remény élteti: ha sikerül rátalálnia az ékszerre, talán élete tragédiáját is egy csapásra semmissé teheti. Magányában az elvesztett, olykor jelentéktelennek látszó tárgyak gyűjtése mellett novellák írásával tölti ki napjait. Megszállottan dolgozik talált kincseinek különleges történetein. Házvezetőnője, a hányatott sorsú Laura maga is szinte egy Anthony megmentett darabjai közül. Idővel az ő feladata lesz, hogy a gondosan katalogizált tárgyakat visszajuttassa az eredeti tulajdonosukhoz. Be kell azonban látnia, hogy nem zárkózhat be örökre az író dolgozószobájába, ki kell használnia a kínálkozó lehetőségeket, hogy otthonossá tegye a saját életét. Ruth Hogan zseniálisan megkomponált történetében a fantasztikum és a valóság egymásba játszó szálai megható 21. századi mesét alkotnak. Az elveszett tárgyak őrzője az újrakezdés ígéretét hozza az elveszetteknek, és reményt ad az örök keresőknek.

But Tilly's childhood was shattered when her mother sent her away from the only home she'd ever loved to boarding school with little explanation and no warning. Many years later, Tilda has grown into an independent woman still damaged by her mother's unaccountable cruelty. Wary of people, her only friend is her dog, Eli. But when her mother dies, Tilda goes back to Brighton and with the help of her beloved Queenie sets about unravelling the mystery of her exile from The Paradise Hotel, only to discover that her mother was not the woman she thought she knew at all ... Mothers and daughters ... their story can be complicated ... but it can also turn out to have a happy ending.
