Descriere magazin:
For readers of Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, a warm, life-affirming debut about a zany case of mistaken identity that allows a lonely old man one last chance to be part of a family. Would you mind terribly, old boy, if I borrowed the rest of your life? I promise I\'ll take excellent care of it. Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he\'d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there\'s nobody left in Fred\'s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he\'s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred\'s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head--as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up. Denise Simms is stuck breathing the same disappointing air again and again. A middle-aged mom and caregiver at Bernard\'s facility, her crumbling marriage and daughter\'s health concerns are suffocating her joy for life. Wounded by her two-faced husband, she vows never to let a man deceive her again. As Fred walks in Bernard\'s shoes, he leaves a trail of kindness behind him, fueling Denise\'s suspicions about his true identity. When unexpected truths are revealed, Fred and Denise rediscover their sense of purpose and learn how to return a broken life to mint condition. Bittersweet and remarkably perceptive, The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife is a hilarious, feel-good, clever novel about grief, forgiveness, redemption, and finding family. A zany case of mistaken identity allows a lonely old man one last chance to be part of a family in this warm, life-affirming debut novel. A funny, heartfelt story about found family and seeing the silver lining in life. Fans of Fredrik Backman\'s A Man Called Ove and Shelby Van Pelt\'s Remarkably Bright Creatures will especially enjoy this new novel.--Library Journal Would you mind terribly, old boy, if I borrowed the rest of your life?
