The reading for this month is “The Keeper of Stories” by Sally Page.
From CoPilot AI:
The novel follows Janice, a cleaner with a unique ability to listen and gather the stories of the people she encounters.
From overheard conversations while cleaning sinks to dusting sitting rooms, she becomes a self-appointed collector of tales from her community, including recently widowed Fiona and her son Adam, opera-singing Geordie, the quiet bus driver Euan, and the pretentious Mrs. “YeahYeahYeah” with her fox terrier, Decius
Despite holding these stories, Janice insists she has none of her own to share.
Her life changes when she begins cleaning for Mrs. B, a sharp and perceptive woman in her nineties.
Unlike others, Mrs. B is determined to uncover Janice’s hidden story, prompting Janice to confront her past and explore whether she deserves to have her own story heard
