Customer Reviews

Curious Charms piqued my curiosity.

This book is a great read, loved the way you travel along with Arthur Pepper as he unravels the past. This is a great read for anyone who has lost a loved one as well. Highly recommend it. It is a quick read and a definite page-turner.

Just beautiful!

I found this book at a perfect time. The story was somewhat similar to my relationship with my dad. He's 73 years old and would't retire. So many times I tried to convince him to stop, all that walking, the 2 hour bus ride, just to get to his little shop. He did it for 65 years. Thanks to this book i undestood my dad. All the troubles he went trhought just to make it to the shop made him feel alive, just like arthurs travels. The very same day i read this on the book, a light bulb went on in my head and something that i couldnt comprehend was explain to me in the simplest way. I was never mean to him, but i did wanted him to relax and to spend more time with us. The day after reading this section of the book my dad suffered a brain hemorrhage he cannot walk and lost his memory. I can only wish that his life would have ended like the books ending. Thank you to the writer for such an amazing book! 💕

A happy feelings book.

An absolute delightful read. My daughters and I are in love with Arthur Pepper. So happy that author is writing more.
