Cabbage Requiem

by R.L. Paul

George Konert's once rich life is ending on a bitter note. He is estranged from his friends and neighbors, his wife is dead and his two daughters are distant and have not produced the grandchildren he longs for. A glut of cabbage from his garden becomes the catalyst that transforms him from an aging curmudgeon who has given up on life into an engaging and often hilarious man. Cabbage Requiem is the story of George's resurrection.

I read this book several years ago. I loved it. It's a story about a widower, who grows a lot of vegetables, and then he goes around the neighborhood sharing them, and making friends.

It's nothing too special. more of a character exercise I think. I never finished this as it was even too boring to read before bed. I'd be lying there bored out of my skull, but not tired at all. Thanks a lot, R. L. T. P. Paul. Thanks for nothin.

The male view of death of a mate and the transition to life as it was meant to be. Excellent
