Ruth Hogan describes herself as a "rapacious reader, writer, and incorrigible magpie" whose own love of small treasures and curiosities and the people around her inspired her first novel. She lives north of London.
"Hogan's writing has the soothing warmth of the cups of cocoa and
tea her characters regularly dispense...old-fashioned storytelling
with a sprinkling of magic."--Kirkus
"A beautiful story of love, loss, and the redemptive power of
friendship."--Catherine Hall, author of The Proof of Love
"From the attention-grabbing opening paragraph, to the joyful
conclusion, Ruth Hogan has stirred together a charming fairytale in
which the people may be more lost than the things; and generosity
and compassion may be the key to finding a way home. Also there are
dogs. Delightful."--Helen Simonson, author of The Summer
Before the War and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
"Hogan's first novel reveals how even discarded items have
significance and seemingly random objects, people, and places are
all interconnected."--Booklist
