Eliza, who was born in poverty and was abandoned by her mother since childhood, hoped to change her destiny with her academic talent and worked hard to get into the coveted Oxford University. But surrounded by elites with distinguished family backgrounds and extraordinary talents, she began to doubt herself. In order to save money, Eliza can only live in illegal housing that is subject to demolition at any time. Through the gray bedroom window, she could often see the owner of the yellow door across the street - the old woman who lived alone who often went to the balcony to water the flowers - the other person's lonely figure gave her some comfort.
The old woman's name was Ada, and she was the famous "rental grandma"—if anyone needed a grandma to be there, she was the one to look for. She has helped otakus build confidence to leave home, provided etiquette guidance for cross-border marriages, served as a witness at unblessed weddings, and babysat children for single mothers...
Knowing that the all-powerful "Granny Rental" lived across the street, Eliza couldn't resist the temptation and knocked on the yellow door, and her bleak life changed.
Reader comments
"Grandma for Rent" There is always someone who can help you open the map, the map of life, and wipe away the haze for you when you are confused and self-denial. She will tell you very firmly that it is more important to understand yourself than to understand others. This is a beautiful but imperfect story, just like our lives. The fairy friendship between Ada and Eliza in the book is enough to warm you and me in our lowest moments. Who wouldn't want to rent a grandma as full of energy as Ada after reading this book?
Two lonely women with very different ages met and got to know each other, healed and warmed each other, and returned to their original happy selves.
The author's writing style is very delicate and the writing style is also very good. The characters are vividly portrayed, making me feel like I can see the scenes in the book. This book made me feel the power of family affection and also made me understand that no matter how difficult life is, we can get help and support from the people around us. Highly recommended!
