哦不,不是《家》:一位处于过渡期的祖母观察与自白
Peggy Rowe is at it again, proving once more that great content is all around us, even in the retirement community she now calls "The Home."
In Oh No, Not “The Home,” eighty-three-year-old Peggy decides the time has finally come to move into a senior living facility with her husband, John, who follows his beloved bride . . . grudgingly. Once ensconced in "The Home," however, John quickly makes a long list of eclectic friends and takes up bocci ball, hatchet throwing, pool playing, and various other distractions that keep him mostly sane. Meanwhile, Peggy finds humor in places a normal person would never think to look—and laughter around every corner. Missing dentures? A mouse in the house? Nude sunbathing with an unexpected audience? Gluttony in the dining hall? A chair volleyball game that turns into geriatric target practice? It's all here.
With her usual mix of warmth and irreverence, Peggy brings her daily journal to life with an unforgettable mix of observations and confessions, written with the honesty of a true observer of the human condition and the urgency of an embedded reporter entrenched in a strange and distant land. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and before long, you’ll start to think that Peggy and John and their many new friends are just the kind of people you wish you had for neighbors.
Whatever you think you know about retirement communities, think again. This is life at "The Home." And it’s not exactly what the marketing brochure promised!
佩姬·罗伊再次证明,优质的內容其实无处不在,即使是在她如今称之为“家园”的退休社区里。
在《哦,天哪,《家园》》,八十三岁的佩姬决定是时候和丈夫约翰一起搬到老年生活设施了。尽管如此,约翰还是勉强跟随着他心爱的妻子……不过一旦搬进了“家园”,约翰很快就开始结交各种风格迥异的朋友,并且迷上打保龄球、投斧子游戏、台球以及各种消遣活动,这些活动几乎让他保持理智。与此同时,佩姬发现,她可以在普通人从未想过的地方找到乐趣,在每一个转角都能听到笑声。
以她一贯的温暖与不敬相结合的方式,佩姬用自己独特的观察和坦诚相告的文字将她的每日日记赋予了生命,这文字中既有对人性的观察也饱含着作为一位扎根于陌生而遥远国度的记者所特有的紧迫感。你将会笑得前俯后仰、哭个不停,并且很快就会觉得,佩姬和约翰还有他们的许多新朋友就是那种你会希望成为邻居的人。
无论你以前对退休社区了解多少,请再三考虑一下。这就是“家园”的生活。它远不是广告宣传单上所描绘的样子!
