Stratford: Book Club: “The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper” by Phaedra Patrick

December 18 @ 1:00 pm2:00 pm

"The World Played Chess" by Robert Dugoni book cover

Please join us at our Stratford Branch in December to discuss “The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper” by Phaedra Patrick.

This curiously charming debut follows a lovable widower and his life-changing adventure of love and self-discovery.

Sixty-nine-year-old Arthur Pepper lives a simple life. He 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, something changes. Sorting through Miriam’s possessions, Arthur finds an exquisite gold charm bracelet he’s never seen before. What follows is a surprising and unforgettable odyssey that takes Arthur from London to Paris and as far as India in an epic quest to find out the truth about his wife’s secret life before they met.

No registration required and all are welcome! Stop in to pick up a copy of the book at our Stratford Branch location or give them a call at 715-687-4420.
