Overview 

Mr. Rosen, once an amusing extrovert with a reputation as a prankster, is entering his senior years as a stoic, thirty-year converted introvert who hates change, has little to no interest in people and is more than content to have his wife sit at the navigator’s seat of his life. Since becoming a practising introvert, there have been almost no changes in his life, and for the few that there were, his wife had walked him through them, including the recent move to a much smaller home in a lower/middle class neighbourhood where he lives directly next-door to a racist whose nine-year old son addresses him as Mr. Jew. 

Mr. Rosen had seen the move coming, and he is very much aware of the enormous change to come sometime in the, hopefully, far off future; though, he refuses to give it any attention. That change will come on slowly and painfully and will eventually force him to chart his own life’s route. 

This heartwarming, feel-good novel offers a rollercoaster ride of emotion as Mr. Rosen’s world of habitual routine begins to implode while on a collision course with the chaotic world of an innocent child, its troubled mother and vengeful father. 

REVIEW

I have been on a roll lately…this is another 5 star read. And if you follow this blog…you know those are few and far between. 

Avriel and his lovely wife, an elderly Jewish couple, move onto Herring Cove Road. Through an accident, they become friends with their next door neighbor and her son. This leads to many ups and down, joys and tragedies.  

I can relate to Avriel in so many ways. He is an introvert and a pharmacist. Needless to say, he was my favorite character.  But all the main characters are relatable and enjoyable…except one. And he is the one that reeks havoc on all their lives. 

This is a novel that takes the reader through a myriad of emotions.  I laughed, cried, got really angry and a little scared. There is even a part that is so emotional, I put my book down for a minute. I couldn’t leave it down, because I just had to see what happened next. 
An awesome read to say the least!!
