Sally Page

Sally Page is a British author whose debut novel became one of the bestselling and most translated books in recent British publishing — a heartwarming story that proved the power of storytelling itself. After studying history at university, Page moved to London to work in advertising before studying floristry and opening her own flower shop. She came to appreciate that flower shops offer a unique window into people's lives, and she began to write about what she observed. She later founded a fountain pen company, Plooms. Her daughter is the author Libby Page, making them a mother-daughter writing duo. The Keeper of Stories (2022), her debut novel, sold over 650,000 copies in English, was translated into thirty languages, and became a Sunday Times bestseller. The novel follows Janice, a cleaner who collects the stories of the people whose houses she works in but insists she has no story of her own worth telling. When she begins cleaning for Mrs B, a shrewd and prickly ninety-year-old, the two women form an unlikely friendship that challenges Janice to face her own story. Page writes with warmth, wisdom, and a deep conviction that everyone's story matters. The novel is gentle without being sentimental, and its celebration of the power of stories to connect, heal, and transform feels entirely earned. The audiobook edition of The Keeper of Stories is a warm, engaging listen. Page's books and audiobooks are perfect for readers who love character-driven fiction, unlikely friendships, and stories that celebrate the importance of storytelling itself.
