Publisher Description
A box of possessions. A father with no memory. A daughter with just one day to piece together the past.
When Sabrina Boggs stumbles upon a mysterious collection of her father’s belongings, her seemingly uneventful life suddenly alters and shifts.
In the single day she has to search for answers about the man she thought she knew, a man who can no longer remember his own story, Sabrina uncovers far bigger secrets than she could have imagined. And discovers that sometimes it’s the people closest to us that we know the least.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The bestselling author of Love, Rosie and PS, I Love You pierces the heart with this story about a grown daughter and aging father at a crossroads. The Marble Collector shifts between the story of Fergus Boggs—the scrawny fourth son of an Irish family who discovers a special talent for shooting marbles—and Sabrina, a lifeguard and mother of three at the end of her rope. Cecelia Ahern does a beautiful job putting herself in a young boy’s shoes, pulling us into a bittersweet family drama with crystal-clear descriptions and sweet humour.
