A keeper by graham norton review6/3/2023 Typically of those who have left their repressive, stifling childhood town behind, Elizabeth hopes that it will be a quick in-and-out trip, hopefully unencumbered by too many visits from her cousins, their glamorous spouses and an aunt and uncle who live comfortably above the hardware shop given to her mother’s brother on their own mother’s bequest. His follow up is unexpectedly quite different if Holding was the gateway drug to Norton’s literary career, A Keeper is the Class A.Įlizabeth Keane has returned from her adopted home in New York to Buncarragh, a fictional town in the South East to take care of her late mother’s estate. Graham Norton’s debut novel Holding won deserved critical acclaim, with its fond explication of tiny rural communities, drenched in observational humour and featuring a whole host of flawed, sympathetic, wholly believable characters offset by the truly affecting stories and pathos that lie beneath the bumbling, slightly ridiculous surface.
