When wealthy widow Mrs. Savage is placed in a private institution by her selfish stepchildren, she discovers within its walls a remarkable group of people who challenge her—and us—to reconsider what sanity, normalcy, and human worth truly mean. As she leads her stepchildren on a merry chase from the comfort of the Cloisters, Mrs. Savage discovers that life’s real value lies in the people we take the time to see—and in the hearts that open when we do. Warm, funny, and deeply moving, The Curious Savage invites us to laugh at life’s absurdities, open our hearts to unexpected people, and discover the extraordinary kindness and courage that can flourish in unlikely places.
