    As a student I accepted temporary lodgings by letter. I had no idea it would be in a large rambling house time had forgotten - not to mention the eccentric, aristocratic landlady. Fressingfold is a true story that illustrates the rich yet harmonious tapestry that people from opposite ends of life's spectrum can weave. At the same time, it inextricably chronicles the devastating effects of dementia. I'm sure you will find this story heart-rending and heart-warming. It is also at times quite funny. ungekürzt.
