The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules
Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg
Translated by Rod Bradbury
Synopsis
Join Martha Andersson and the League of Pensioners as they rebel against the confines of their care home and embark on a hilarious, Robin Hood-style adventure in Stockholm.
79-year-old Martha dreams of escaping her dreary care home and robbing a bank to fund a much more exciting lifestyle. Determined to break free from the rules imposed upon them, Martha and her four oldest friends – the League of Pensioners – cause uproar with their antics protesting against early bedtimes and plasticky meals.
As the elderly friends become more daring, they hatch a cunning plan to break out of the care home and land themselves in a far more attractive Stockholm establishment. With the aid of their Zimmer frames, they resolve to stand up for pensioners everywhere and take on a heist like no other.
Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg's insightful comedy The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is a quirky, heart-warming tale of growing old disgracefully. Perfect for fans of humorous fiction and stories of friendship and adventure in later life.
