The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules

Plot

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. Translated from Swedish by Rod Bradbury.
