Book Chat with Melinda Watkins

March's book club selection: "The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife" by Anna Johnston is a heartwarming novel about an elderly, broke man who, facing eviction, assumes the identity of a missing nursing home resident, Bernard Greer, finding warmth, meals, and a chance at redemption while navigating mistaken identity and forming unexpected connections, particularly with a caregiver named Denise. The story explores themes of second chances, forgiveness, found family, and the challenges of aging, with a tone described as funny, clever, and feel-good, appealing to fans of authors like Fredrik Backman. 

Books are available at the Circulation Desk a month prior to the meeting.
