The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Patrick Phaedra

40 YEARS OF MARRIAGE 8 GOLDEN CHARMS ONE MAN’S JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY Arthur Pepper gets up every day at 7.30am. He eats his breakfast, waters his plant, Frederica and does not speak to anyone unless it is absolutely necessary. Until something disrupts his routine. On the first anniversary of his beloved wife Miriam’s death, he finally sorts through her wardrobe and finds a glistening gold charm bracelet that he has never seen before. Upon examination, Arthur finds a telephone number on the underside of a gold elephant. Uncharacteristically, he picks up the phone. And so begins Arthur’s quest – charm by charm, from York to Paris to India – as he seeks to uncover Miriam’s secret life. And along the way, find out more about himself.
