Sinossi
"UNA STORIA TENERA E SPIRITOSA, IL RACCONTO PERFETTO DI UNA VITA «NORMALE» E STRAORDINARIA COME IN FONDO È OGNI VITA. Prima era abbastanza in gamba per riempire decorosamente le sue giornate, ma ora con un braccio e un piede fratturati, la vita gli appare decisamente grigia. Frank abita con il suo gatto Bibì in una tipica cittadina inglese; guarda DVD, sperpera i suoi denari alle fiere parrocchiali e tenta disperatamente di evitare gli scocciatori che bussano alla sua porta. Fino a quando non fa irruzione nel suo tran-tran Kelly Christmas, professione badante. Con la sua utilitaria azzurra, un parcheggio da far rizzare i capelli in testa, una serena tenacia e la risata pronta ai giochi di parole di lui, Kelly trasforma la vita di Frank. E gli ricorda che fuori dei muri di casa c’è un mondo avventuroso per chiunque, anche per chi ha ottantun anni."

I was wrong. very boring and pointless from begi Leggi tutto
Review also posted on my blog http://www.reviewedthebook.co.uk/2014... Frank Derrick, as I’m sure you can work out from the title of the book, is 81 years old and has just been run over by a milk float. Seriously. You would imagine, being 81 and injured, there’s probably very little you can do and def Leggi tutto
Such a wonderful book! Both poignantly touching while also laugh out loud funny, I just adored this story. We meet Frank, an 81 year old man who recently got knocked over by a milk float. Having broken he's arm, Frank is assigned a carer called Kelly who's weekly visits make a massive impact on Frank Leggi tutto
A first floor flat with possibly the only steps in the village. Tinned spaghetti, junk mail, cold-callers, charity shop pens and a cat called Bill. Those are the things that make up Frank's life. He does venture out; to Fullwind Food & Wine, where he stocks up on spaghetti and cat food, the local ch Leggi tutto
