\nThe Borrowed Life of Fre derick Fife by Anna Johnston.
\n""Would you mind terribly\, old boy\, if I borrowed the rest of your life? I promise I'll take excell ent 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 o f homelessness. Fred's luck changes when\, in a bizarre case of mistaken i dentity\, he takes the place of Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. N ow he has a roof over his head\, three meals a day\, and\, most importantl y\, the chance to be part of a family again. All he has to do is hope that his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-ali ke never turns up. As Fred navigates life in Bernard's shoes\, he learns a bout the man's past and what it might take to return a life in better cond ition than he found it. Bittersweet and remarkably perceptive\, The Borrow ed Life of Frederick Fife is a feel-good\, clever novel about grief\, forg iveness\, redemption\, and finding family\, from an exciting new voice in fiction"-- Provided by publisher.
