Man
Called

"FUNNY
AND
FRANK...A
STORY
WITH
A
GREAT
DEAL
OF
HEART."--Graeme
Simsion,New

Timesbestselling
author
of
THE
ROSIE
PROJECT
Technically
speaking,
Hendrik
Groen
is....elderly.
But
at
age
83
1/4,
this
feisty,
indomitable
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--on
his
own
terms.
He
begins
writing
an
exposé:
secretly
recording
the
antics
of
day-to-day
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
wickedly
anarchic
Old-But-Not-Dead
Club--"Rule
#3:
No
Whining
Allowed"--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
polishes
his
shoes,
grooms
what's
left
of
his
hair,
and
determines
to
savor
every
ounce
of
joy
in
the
time
he
has
left,
with
hilarious
and
tender
consequences.
A bestselling phenomenon that has captured imaginations around the world,The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groenis inspiring, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny with a deep and poignant core: a page-turning delight for readers of any age.
