The Reluctant Fortune-Teller
A retired accountant becomes the townâs fortune-teller in this witty and charming debut
Norbert Zelenka has always lived life on the sidelines. Itâs why at seventy-three years old heâs broke and alone except for the company of a Chihuahua. But when âCarlottaâs Clubââthree strong-willed seniors with plenty of time on their handsâdecide to make Norbert their latest project, he reluctantly agrees to their scheme: establishing himself as the townâs fortune-teller. Soon his life begins changing in unexpected ways.
It turns out that years of observing other people make Norbert an excellent card reader. As Norbertâs lonesome world expands with new friendships and a newfound self-confidence, he finally finds himself in a place where he belongs. But disaster looms on the horizon. When a troubled young woman goes missing after a bad reading, Norbert must find a strength beyond the cards to bring her home safely.
A heartfelt story of coming-of-age late in life, The Reluctant Fortune-Teller is a poignant reminder that weâre never too old to learn new tricks.
