The Brooklyn follies, by Paul Auster

I really enjoyed this novel by Paul Auster, one of my favorite authors. The Brooklyn follies tells the story of a recently retired, divorced man (Nathan) who relocates to Brooklyn from his former suburban home. His comfortable routine of writing, visiting a favority bookstore, eating in a local diner, is upended when he realizes that his nephew (Tom) is working in the bookstore that he regularly frequents. Both of their lives are further upended when Tom's niece (and Nathan's great-niece), Lucy, shows up on their doorstep. Adventures ensue as they try to find out what happened to Lucy's mother, get involved in a forgery scam, travel to Vermont for a getaway, and meet new friends that will change their lives forever. This is a well-written, heartwarming, and amusing story about making a new life with the people around us.
