Eighty-year-old Brendan Auberon begins a complex journey when he dupes his nephew into hijacking the nursing home van so that Brendan can see Paradise Valley one last time. Reprint. NYT.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: At the age of eighty, Brendan Auberonâformerly of the Order of Our Lady of the Valley, now confined to a nursing homeâhas one last wish: to see his 200 acres overlooking what used to be Paradise Valley, before the villages were drowned to provide water for the city of Boston. Now, Brendanâs memories drift beneath the surface of the Stillwater Reservoir. When Brendan dupes his nephew, Henry, into hijacking the nursing home van for the journey, what begins as a lark becomes an adventure infinitely more complex.
