About this product

Product Information

An international bestselling novel- a year in the life of an elderly man writing an expose from an old-people's home in Amsterdam. Tuesday, 1 January. Another year, and I still don't like old people. Their Zimmer-frame shuffle, their endless complaints, their tea and biscuits, their bellyaching. Me? I'm eighty-three . . .' Meet Hendrik Groen. An octogenarian in a care home who has no intention of doing what he's told, or dying quietly. To that end, he creates the Old-But-Not-Dead Club and with his fellow members sets about living his final years with careless abandon. Such anarchism infuriates the care home director but pleases Eefje, the woman who makes Hendrik's frail heart palpitate. If it's never too late to have fun, then can it ever be too late to meet the love of your life?

  • JUST LIKE REAL LIFE!

    I live in an Independent/Assisted Living facility, so I could identify wiih Hendrik Groen. This book is set in the Netherlands in a nursing home and oh how I could identify with the life and problems that he wrote about, bad food, annoying residents and the urge to get out and enjoy life, no matter how short it may be! I may even start an "Old but not dead yet club" here! Funny, wise and yes, sad at time, but a good read.

  • Finding More in Life in the Golden Years.

    In a relatively boring home for aged people in Europe, there is a patronizing supervisor, several cowed residents and a few rebels. The book's humor has an insightful, targeted bite. Well written, diary style, this novel is an enjoyable read, including for senior citizens. It is so realistic! The book is recommended, and not just for our elders.
