My Keeper's house. Right there. Brown shingles, dark red shutters, yellow-and-black police tape wrapped around the massive tree trunks. The attic window looks out over the yard and the world narrows until that attic window is the only thing I can see.

About This Quote

In the opening lines of The Keeper , by Kevin Brooks, a boy stands staring at a house. He has been sent to live with his grandfather, a widower. And as he stares at the house, he realizes that this is the first time he has ever been inside a house. The house is his now, and he has lost all sense of time. This book is about how difficult it can be to grow up and be a man in a world that is not yours.
