The Light a Candle Society by Ruth Hogan
A heartwarming, redemptive story from the bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things and The Phoenix Ballroom
Warm, compassionate, witty and thought provoking, The Light a Candle Society is Ruth Hogan at her very best-- Mike Gayle, author of THE SONG OF YOU AND ME
Moving, uplifting and thought-provoking in equal parts. George is determined that nobody should leave this life without a fitting celebration. As he builds his team with this end in mind, lives are changed, bonds are forged and something joyful emerges from the sadness. Life-affirming and full of love, this book is one to treasure. I adored it! -- Celia Anderson, bestselling author of 59 MEMORY LANE
A lovely, lovely novel, full of humanity, humour and kindness. I loved it! -- Elizabeth Buchan, author of TWO WOMEN IN ROME
I relished every word of this beautiful, poignant, uplifting story. Ruth Hogan's characters are easy to love and so I took George and his 'Light A Candle Society' friends to my heart immediately. It's not easy to tackle themes of death, grief and loneliness but Ruth does it effortlessly, with warmth, wit and tenderness. This is exactly the book we need right now and for me, Ruth Hogan's best novel yet. -- Annie Lyons, author of THE AIR RAID BOOK CLUB
I LOVED the latest novel from Ruth Hogan. It's bursting with her signature warmth and heart but this time tackles taboos and issues that aren't spoken about with compassion and hope. Nobody does it quite like Ruth Hogan. If you're looking to be uplifted and to feel better about the world, this is the book for you! -- Matt Cain, author of THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE
Written with Ruth Hogan's trademark humour and generosity of spirit, The Light a Candle Society shines warm with life. An uplifting celebration of the joy of small things, and the big - kindness, community and love. -- Kate Lord Brown, author of THE GOLDEN HOUR
This book is an absolute treasure trove of light, love, grief, hope, all that makes us human. With all the touchstones we carry that make up a life, it's almost unbearably poignant, helpful and enlightening all at once. And reminds us that our humanity is the ultimate thing we share and none of us is ever really alone. -- Siobhan MacGowan, author of THE GRACES
The ballroom is a magical place, and Ruth Hogan's love and warmth for all the things within it shine brightly in the pages of this wonderful story. She has created such an uplifting world, and the Phoenix Ballroom feels like an old friend of mine -- Anton du Beke on THE PHOENIX BALLROOM
A rich and joyful story told with wit and heart. And the most glamorously-named protagonist ever. Look out for this sweeping waltz of a novel. -- Beth Morrey on THE PHOENIX BALLROOM

Ruth Hogan studied English and Drama at Goldsmiths College and went on to work in local government. A car accident and a subsequent run-in with cancer convinced her finally to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. The result was her debut novel - The Keeper of Lost Things, which went on to become a global bestseller. She is now a full-time author and lives with her husband and rescue dogs in a rambling Victorian house stuffed with treasure that inspires her novels.
