The Keeper of Happy Endings

Written by Barbara Davis

Narrated by Robin Siegerman and Hope Newhouse

An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls.

Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It’s said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline’s world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget.

Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline’s old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory’s and Soline’s lives begin to surface. It’s clear that they were destined to meet—and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

Reviews for The Keeper of Happy Endings

[Amber · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Could not finish the story, because the narrator speaks with a fake french accent. Its very distracting. I understand the character is supposed to be french, but would have much preferred to hear the words on the pages without the accent.

Of all her audio books, this one is my favorite!

[JEANNIE · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This review is for the audiobook. The author uses an accent for the narration and for the characters voices, and it is the same accent. The narrator shouldn’t have an accent. I understand the characters having accents, but the narrator should not very very frustrating. I did not finish the book for that reason.

One reader has a heavy accent. Very difficult for me to understand even with hearing aids. Listened briefly and gave up. The book may be good but performance was way too frustrating

[Lara Hanna · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The most delightful listen I've heard in a long while. Every spare minute I stuck in a chapter or two. I'm so sad that this book is now a completed one. I wished it carried on and on.

[Terry Griffin · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The plot wraps up with a satisfying sparkling but believable fairytale ending.

[goniamarzy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing book, really moving. Love the author, all of her stories have pretty similar line, but this one is the best.

[Melinda Budgell · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A captivating story with rich characters and believable plot lines. The emotion evoked through each character was palpable. The story line lost some credibility with the author’s decision to make the characters related. This was not necessary to make a magnificent story.

[CamilaRavagnani · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a lovely book! Turns and turns, but so beautiful and delicate! I loved it!

[Lorelei Haberland · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book was great. The accents were very wrong for Boston, which made it hard to listen to. I had to imagine it was in completely different place.

[celia · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Easy read. Nicely put together, all the characters were well constructed but a little obvious for belief. Still a lovely book

[Angela K · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It took me a little while to get in to this one but I'm so glad I did. I really liked it!

[Mina Sheikhha · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Gave up a couple of times because the narrator's voice was really on my nerves but ended up pushing through and I am glad that I did. It ended up being a fun read.

[danna · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved every minute of this book. A magical rambling tale that helps me believe in happy endings!

[Jill Ann · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A beautiful story with rich characters, adventure, romance and magic that spans 3 generations. Definitely worth reading! I hope to find more books by this author to enjoy.

[Laura Black-Farrar · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Awesome book- with romance and twists and plot turns I didn't see coming. I love the moral "there are no curses, only patterns to be broken" an all around feel good romance with...you guessed it, a happy ending!

[Jessica “Jess” Megrant · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fantastique ❤️ absolutely lovely, couldn't wait to listen great end

[Julia · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book with interesting plot twists. But the ending is somewhat foreseeable.

[Marcella · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Enjoyed the first half of this book, but once the ‘twist’ was revealed half way through, the plot became obvious and twee.

[d-fbuser-430141849 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Lovey heartfelt story. Fantastic!! Well done to the narrator too.

[Angie · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I made it through 17 chapters but I couldn’t take the narrator any longer. It’s so sad because the story itself is great. But the accent which is supposed to be French… Sounds like Asian French and something else…

[Karina Pentecost · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

What a fun book! So sad at parts, mystery and happy endings. It was wonderful!

[Terry Heidt · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was such a great story. So many lessons learned

[Thomas Arnold · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Great character development and a well developed storyline.

This review is about the audiobook.
The story was ok if rather predictable but I think I would have enjoyed the book much more. I didn't like how it was performed. The narrator for Soline had an awful, thick french accent that sometimes made it difficult to understand (English is not my native tongue and that made it harder) and when she cried it was too melodramatic for the telling of a story. The narrator for Rory used such a trembling voice that she seemed to be on the verge of tears all the time.
