Graham Norton Collection 3 Books Set:
A Keeper:
Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother's death, intent only on wrapping up that dismal part of her life. There is nothing here for her; she wonders if there ever was. The house of her childhood is stuffed full of useless things, her mother's presence already fading. And perhaps, had she not found the small stash of letters, the truth would never have come to light.
Holding:
The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama; and yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn't always been this overweight; mother of two Brid Riordan hasn't always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn't always felt that her life was a total waste. So when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burke - a former love of both Brid and Evelyn - the village's dark past begins to unravel.
The Life and Loves of a He Devil:
'It seems to me that we are all made up of the things we adore, and by telling my stories through the prism of my passions I hope you will get an insight into my life' In his new autobiography, written with characteristic humour and often outrageous candour, Graham shows that life is more than just a series of dates and it's really the things you love that make you who you are. From his beloved dogs to his rediscovered love of Ireland, the men Graham has loved and lost to his love affair with New York. It's been ten years since Graham last hit our shelves and being a decade older he has come to realise that what makes a life interesting is less what happens to you and more what inspires and drives you.

I read The Keeper, it was an easy read but a little dark in places

Having lived in rural Ireland I think Graham Norton writes truthful portraits of the characters that inhabit these landscapes.I found 'the Keeper' more gripping than 'Holding' and the story intriguing although I found Elizabeth's contribution less powerful than the story of Patricia.
I feel his stories and style of writing flow fluently, are well-written and provide psychologically sound portraits of his individual characters.
An author to enjoy.
