"It’s about an elderly man who has spent his life collecting lost objects in a bid to atone for breaking a promise many years ago. It’s just such a lovely idea with some absolutely beautiful writing. No, not always. It could be about relationships between siblings or friends for example. I think what the reader wants is to see the characters they root for get their happy ending whatever that might look like. It doesn’t always have to be romantic."
