Riverton Readers Book Discussion: The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife

Posted on by

This casual book discussion is open to all. Stop by Riverton Library any time before the event to check out your copy of the book. This month’s selection is The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston.

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 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. Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has a roof over his head, three meals a day, and, most importantly, the chance to be part of a family again. All he has to do is hope that his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up.

This book group will meet on November 3rd from 6:30 to 7:30 pm!

Chapter Chat Book Group

Chapter Chat is a read-together group for folks 17 and older with intellectual disabilities. The group meets every week to read a novel together.

At the event, we will take turns reading aloud from the book. You can read aloud as much or as little as you like, or you can just listen! This is not a reading instruction class: we read together to socialize and share the experience of reading a good book.

This group is limited to ten participants. Registration is required.

The Chapter Chat Book Club will meet on:

  • November 3rd  from 2:30 to 3:30 pm, register here
  • November 17th from 2:30 to 3:30 pm, register here
  • November 24th from 2:30 to 3:30 pm, register here
