The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper

Sixty-nine-year-old Arthur Pepper gets out of bed at precisely 7:30 a.m., just as he did when his wife, Miriam, was alive. He dresses in the same gray slacks and mustard sweater-vest, waters his fern Frederica, and heads out to his garden. But on the one-year anniversary of Miriam's death, Arthur finds an exquisite gold charm bracelet he's never seen before among Miriam's possessions. He embarks on an odyssey to find out the truth about his wife's life before they met. It takes him from London to Paris and India, on a journey that leads him to find hope, healing, and self-discovery in the most unexpected places.
