About this event
Meeting Room 1. Anna Johnston’s The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife (2024) is a work of contemporary fiction and a story of mistaken identity that explores the importance of connection between people of all ages. Elderly widower Fred Fife has just been evicted from his home when he encounters the deceased body of Bernard Greer—a man who looks just like him—at a local park. In a comedy of errors, Fred is presumed to be Bernard and is taken off to the nursing home where Bernard resided. There, Fred sets out to make a positive impact on others while masquerading as Bernard. Copies of the book will be available at the library
