Synopsis
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.

About the Author
Pepper Harding is the pen name of a San Francisco writer known for an entirely different kind of literature. Born in far-away New Jersey, educated in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and finally at the University of Chicago, Pepper is a long time resident of the city, with stints in Marin, Berkeley and, currently, Sonoma County. Pepper has two kids, two cars, one spouse, and, some say, multiple personalities.
Review
“[Harding] has skillfully created a set of interesting, well-developed characters whose lives readers can relate to and care about... with quick, witty dialogue and an expertly crafted stream-of-consciousness style, The Heart of Henry Quantum is a highly entertaining read that will remind readers of the power of one day to change a life.” (Booklist, Starred Review)
“Harding’s debut novel is a winsome tale of an unexpected love triangle late in life... As the past is revealed to the reader and Henry must choose his future, the alternating viewpoints add velocity to this fun, fanciful story that will keep readers guessing until the end.” (Publishers Weekly)
"In Harding's wry debut fiction... The San Francisco setting is perfectly mapped on the page... Henry's a perfectly sketched character, his interior monologue at times funny, at times profound." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Defying genres...Harding’s debut novel is a fun romp through the streets of the beautiful Golden Gate city... The ending will probably not surprise you, but you will find yourself thoroughly satisfied when you turn the last page." (Bookreporter)
"Especially recommended for holiday reading." (Midwest Book Review)
“The delightfully neurotic characters in The Heart of Henry Quantum will captivate you with their hapless love triangle set over the course of one frantic day in San Francisco. Read it: you'll thank me!”
(New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand)
