Textul de pe ultima copertă

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas . . . unless you’re in the League of Pensioners!
Martha Andersson and the League are at it again: Trading their senior home for the bright lights of the Strip, they’re ready to take Vegas for all it’s worth. A few lucky nights at the casino, some helium balloons, a set of dentures, and an inadvertent diamond robbery later, these five elderly friends have added a nice sum to their philanthropy budget and, satisfied, head home.  
Back in Sweden, though, all is not as it should be. Their new neighbors, members of an infamous motorcycle gang, have taken a suspicious interest in the retirees next door and, more concerning still, their Vegas winnings haven’t reached the intended elderly beneficiaries. A Robin Hood in an electric wheelchair, Martha won’t rest until she’s bettered the lives of pensioners across Sweden, but as the League’s scheming escalates, she starts to wonder, Will this next heist be one too many? 
Perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman, this devilishly fun sequel to The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules reminds us that it’s never too late to get in the game.

Recenzii

“Instead of hyperbolic, mustache-twirling villains, Ingelman-Sundberg deftly orchestrates the foibles of real life... and captures the rebelliousness percolating just under the surface of ignored, shuffled away elderly folks. A merry, lighthearted caper.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A comedy of errors, oversights and obstacles infuse Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg’s clever U.S. debut, and the hilarious, escalating antics of a spirited cast of walker-dependent characters in their 70s and 80s will have readers of all ages rooting for their cause.” — Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“A quirky, offbeat delight and a hear-warming reminder that one is never too old for some mischief.” — Tom Winter, author of Lost & Found
“Reminded me of the more mischievous moments of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” — J.B. Morrison, author of The Extra Ordinary Life of Frank Derrick, Age 81
