The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 831/4 Years Old

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? 'So much more than just a comedy.'  - John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'Amusing and wickedly accurate. A handbook of resistance for our time.'  - Sunday Express 'Very funny.' - Jeremy Paxman, Financial Times'Terrific. This geriatric Adrian Mole made me laugh.' - Woman and Home 'Funny and touching.' - BBC Radio 4
