Pepper Harding

The Heart of Henry Quantum

Henry Quantum has several thoughts going through his head at any given time, so it’s no surprise when he forgets something very important - a Christmas gift for his wife, Margaret, which he realises on the morning of December 23rd.

So Henry sets off in search of the perfect present for Margaret: a bottle of Chanel No. 5.

But much like Henry’s ever-wandering mind, his quest takes him in different and unexpected directions, including running into the former love of his life, Daisy. Meanwhile, Margaret is questioning whether she and Henry belong together after all . . .

'The Heart of Henry Quantum' is a sweet, funny, and touching debut which shows how the seemingly insignificant events of one single day can change our lives forever - perhaps, if we’re lucky, for the better.
Review:
Did not like this book at all and although the author tried to make Henry seem all cute and quirky with his meanderings I just found it stupid and annoying and sometimes got lost in what I was reading altogether.

In no way can it, or should it ever be compared to A Man called Ove. That book was in a league of it's own and it's actually what drew me to reading this book in the first place. Big disappointment after having read this book as it's in no way at all like Ove.
