\n\nA retired accountant becomes the town'\;s fortune-teller in this witty and charming debut. Norbert Zelenka has always lived life on the sidelines. It'\;s why at seventy-three years old he'\;s broke and alone except for the company of a Chihuahua. But when "\;Carlotta'\;s Club"\;--three strong-willed seniors with plenty of time on their hands--decide to make Norbert their latest project\, he reluctantly agrees to their scheme: establishing himself as the town'\;s 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 Norbert'\;s 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 we'\;re never too old to learn new tricks.
