Ruth Hogan is a British novelist whose books tend to center on eccentric characters and the unexpected ways people find each other. Her debut, The Keeper of Lost Things (2017), told the story of a man who collects lost objects and the woman who inherits his collection along with a mysterious task. The book became a surprise hit in the UK and launched her career.
Since then, Hogan has published five more novels, each with its own cast of oddball characters and a gentle but honest look at loneliness, grief, and belonging. Her writing has a warmth to it without tipping into sentimentality, and she has a good eye for the small details that make her characters feel real.
