But at age 83 and one quarter, this feisty curmudgeon has no plans to go out quietly. Bored of weak tea and potted geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging, Hendrik has decided to rebel. He begins writing an expos: secretly recording the antics of daytoday life in his retirement home, where he refuses to take himself, or his fellow ''inmates,'' too seriously.With an eccentric group of friends, he founds the OldButNotDead Club, and he and his best friend, Evert, gleefully stir up trouble, enraging the home's humorless director and turning themselves into unlikely heroes. And when a sweet and sassy widow moves in next door, he is determined to savor every ounce of joy in the time he has left, with hilarious and tender consequences.The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen is an inspiring, charming, and laughoutloud delight for readers of any age.
