Overview

#1 International Bestseller

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel meets The Italian Job in internationally-bestselling author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg's witty and insightful comedy of errors about a group of delinquent seniors whose desire for a better quality of life leads them to rob and ransom priceless artwork.

Martha Andersson may be seventy-nine-years-old and live in a retirement home, but that doesn't mean she's ready to stop enjoying life. So when the new management of Diamond House starts cutting corners to save money, Martha and her four closest friends--Brains, The Rake, Christina and Anna-Gretta (a.k.a. The League of Pensioners)--won't stand for it. Fed up with early bedtimes and overcooked veggies, this group of feisty seniors sets about to regain their independence, improve their lot, and stand up for seniors everywhere.

Their solution? White collar crime. What begins as a relatively straightforward robbery of a nearby luxury hotel quickly escalates into an unsolvable heist at the National Museum. With police baffled and the Mafia hot on their trail, the League of Pensioners has to stay one walker's length ahead if it's going to succeed....

Told with all the insight and humor of A Man Called Ove or Where'd You Go Bernadette?, The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is a delightful and heartwarming novel that goes to prove the adage that it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

  • Fun read!

    The start was a bit slow but oh my!! What a fun read. I laughed so much. My book club agrees with me :-) Loved, Loved the ending.

    I love this book!!! I haven't even finished it yet, and I can't stop telling everyone how absolutely hilarious it is. I can't count how many times it has made me laugh out loud. When I'm in my late 70's I hope I'll be spry enough for a bank heist (not that I would). Who wouldn't love a cast of characters rebelling against old age and bad food at the retirement home? I think my favorite character is Brain, and no, not for "Pinky and the Brain" (though I do love them).
