Get carried away by the criminally fun internationally bestselling sensation!

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is a quirky, humorous and heart-warming story about growing old disgracefully—and breaking all the rules along the way!

Seventy-nine-year-old Martha Andersson dreams of escaping the dull, drab life of the retirement home. With no intention of spending the rest of her days confined to an armchair, she enlists her four oldest friends—a.k.a. the League of Pensioners—to rebel against the rules imposed upon them. Together, they cause an uproar with their antics: protesting against early bedtimes, tasteless meals, and a host of unfair cost-cutting measures. As the elderly friends become more daring, their activities escalate, and they devise a cunning plan to rob a bank in order to fund their exciting new lives. Determined to stand up for senior citizens everywhere—and not to be slowed down by their walkers—they outrun both the law and the lawless on their way to wealth and infamy.

For fans of The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, this is a charming, funny caper that proves you’re never too old to break the rules!
Fun book and she and her friends are certainly interesting characters.

Just finished this crazy book! I read it as an ebook in Singapore. I had some good laughs. My mom is in a senior home so I am going to recommend the executive director read it.

Reminds me of the 100 year old man....
