I thoroughly enjoyed The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg which is set in Sweden (translated in 2013). A group of pensioners, led by Martha, live in a retirement/nursing home and as the management continues to cut costs, the standard drops considerably. The residents are not given buns with their coffee, and only three cups a day. Martha has seen a movie about a prison and then believes they are better looked after than she and her friends are. So she hatches a plan to commit a crime so they can go to prison. This story is a delight, not to be taken seriously, has so many twists and turns as their inexperience as criminals makes for some interesting adventures. The reader will think - how will they resolve this? A lot of fun. 4/5Wednesday, July 1, 2015
