The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules

 I listened to The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules by a Swedish author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. Her name is a mouth full. The story is about 5 pensioners living in an assisted living home that is doing all they can to reduce costs. Martha is the ringleader of the group called the League of Pensioners. The group is upset because the quality and quantity of the food goes down. They are not getting fresh fruit nor vegetables. They used to have a work out room but now that room is limited to only the staff. The staff makes them go to bed early. All their meals are wrapped in plastic. Martha manages to steal a master key. One night they break into the offices upstairs and have a grand meal of chicken and vegetables and unfortunately too much wine because that is where the staff finds them in the morning. The League of Pensioners rightly feel they would get better care in prison. So they decide that is where they will go. This was a lovely story and if I was in Martha's position, I might do the same thing.
