The first is the theme of grief and loss, and how had it is to keep going. There were several things I loved about this. And so begins a quest of sorts to discover where each charm came from, and, it turns out, that his wife had a whole vibrant and interesting life before she met him. It has several very different charms on it, and one of them has a telephone number on it. While he’s doing this, he discovers an expensive-looking charm bracelet amongst her things. ![]() One day he decides it’s time to be pragmatic and clear out her belongings so that they can go to someone who needs them. ![]() He misses his wife terribly and has frozen in a rigid routine that he uses to keep himself going now that she’s gone. It’s a simple story at the outset – it’s the story of Arthur Pepper, who is widowed. Also what I hoped The Unlikely Pilgrimmage of Harold Fry would feel like. It turned out to be exactly what I wished The Extra Ordinary Life of Frank Derrick, Aged 81 would be. ![]()
