Fans of A Man Called Ove and Remarkably Bright Creatures will especially enjoy this new novel.\"--Library Journal\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt; \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;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.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt; \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;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, at age eighty-two, there's nobody left in Fred's life to borrow from, and he's broke and on the brink of eviction. But Fred's luck changes when he's mistaken for Bernard Greer, a missing resident at the local nursing home, and takes his place. Now Fred has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head--as long as his look-alike Bernard never turns up. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt; \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;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 betray her again.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt; \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;As Fred walks in Bernard's shoes and learns about his past, Denise uncovers clues that threaten to reveal his identity. Will she expose the truth before Fred can return a broken life to mint condition? \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt; \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Bittersweet and remarkably perceptive, The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife is a hilarious, feel-good, clever novel about forgiveness, redemption, second chances and finding family.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107308814505,"sku":"PHBK-9780063397309","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/15177193482210.jpg?v=1779739227","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/borrowed-life-of-frederick-fife","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
