 Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston\n\nFor readers of 
 Remarkably Bright Creatures and A Man Called Ove\, 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.\n\n‘Would you mind terribly\, old 
 boy\, if I borrowed the rest of your life? I promise I’ll take excellent 
 care of it.'\n\nFrederick 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.\n\nDenise 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.\n\nAs 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.\n\nBittersweet and remarkably perceptive\, 
 The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife is a hilarious\, feel-good\, clever 
 novel about grief\, forgiveness\, redemption\, and finding 
 family.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register by calling
