The heroine of this novel is rather unlikely, because it is 82 years old, overweight, addicted to small happy pills for decades. His children, worried, decided to place it in a retirement home. There, instead of letting die, Cora will meet people who will change his life, for his life is not over yet. This book is very readable, it attaches much to Cora, and the universe it describes may seem familiar to some. The story is bittersweet, but keeps his optimism and liveliness.
