Description:
|
One minute 82-year-old Fred is facing homelessness, the next minute he is residing at Wattle River Nursing Home, and answering to the name of Bernard. It may be a serendipitous case of mistaken identity, but it’s a good deal all round – Fred is the epitome of kindness and Bernard had been a curmudgeon. Now with a roof over his head, regular meals and company, Fred sets about mending his own life and finding out all about Bernard’s. Poignant, uplifting and a reminder that life can surprise us in unexpected ways, this is a delightful story, testimony to the healing power of connection and guaranteed to leave a smile on your face.
