After all, he could always count on his wife, Barbara.But when one morning she can't get up from bed anymore, everything changes. With biting humor and great warmth, Alina Bronsky writes about how Walter, nearing the end of his life, is suddenly forced to reinvent himself as a caregiver and house-husband, and become the caring partner he never was in all his years with Barbara. Little by little, Walter's rough facade begins to crumble-and with it his old certainties about his life and family"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Retirees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Spouses $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Mohr, Tim, $e translator. 941 $a 5 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240315010105.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014537.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20231129010053.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015901.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CBED17AA164211EE9AA03BF23AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
