So it's
Christmas Eve in New Zealand and I'm writing a book review but I wanted to
write it now as I've just finished this beautiful book that has taken me too
long too read. The reason it has taken so long is because of work, study and
Christmas commitments, not because there's anything wrong with the book.
The Curious
Charms of Arthur Pepper is written by Phaedra Patrick. It tells the
story of 69-year-old soon to be 70-year-old Arthur Pepper. It's the one-year
anniversary of the death of his wife Miriam who he had been married to for more
than 40 years.
Arthur decides
it's time to start going through Miriam's wardrobe and he finds a gold charm
bracelet. He's never seen it before and he sets out on an adventure to find out
where all the charms on the bracelet have come from. He finds out some
beautiful things about his wife and some things that may be best left in the
past.
Along the way
Arthur meets some interesting characters and finds out a lot about himself as
well.
A delightful
debut from Phaedra Patrick!
