哦不，不是《家》：一位处于过渡期的祖母观察与自白

Peggy Rowe | 2024 | ISBN: 1637633416 | English | 288 pages | ePUB | 32 MB

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!

佩吉·罗伊又在证明，伟大的内容就在我们周围，即便是她如今称之为“家园”的退休社区也不例外。

在《Oh No, Not “The Home”》，八十三岁的佩吉决定是时候带着丈夫约翰搬进一家养老院了。尽管如此，约翰仍然不情不愿地跟着他心爱的妻子……然而，在“家园”安顿下来后，约翰很快结交了一大群奇特的朋友，并开始玩斗草球、斧头投掷、打保龄球以及其他各种消遣，这些都帮助他大部分时间保持理智。

与此同时，佩吉发现了一些常人可能从未想到的地方充满幽默，并且随时可以找到欢笑。例如：遗失的假牙？家里的老鼠？有人在阳光下脱光衣服并被意外观众看到？餐厅里暴饮暴食？一场起源于老年人靶场练习的斗草球比赛？这一切都包含其中。

佩吉一如既往地结合温暖和不敬，用她那本日常日记为读者带来一个难忘的观察和忏悔混合体。这些内容由一名真正的人类状况观察者所写，并且像一位在遥远陌生之地扎根的记者般，充满了紧迫感。你可能会笑，你可能会哭，很快你就开始认为佩吉、约翰以及他们许多新朋友就是那种你希望作为邻居的人。

无论你知道多少关于退休社区的事情，请想想看。这正是“家园”的生活。而且它绝非广告宣传册上所承诺的那样！
