The Little Old Lady Who
Struck Lucky Again!
Catharina
Ingelman-Sundberg
Martha
Andersson and her geriatric pals have taken it upon themselves to
help the less fortunate. To do this, they rob and steal from the rich
and give to the poor or those in need. When the story opens they
group of just robbed a Las Vegas casino and to escape the long arm of
the law, they decide to return to their native Sweden.
Unfortunately,
on their way back, their ill-gotten gains disappear. To make matters
worse, previous loot in Sweden has also disappeared, and they have to
figure out how to get it back or come up with a plan to make more
money. Further trouble comes when they decide to settle down in a new
house. Their new neighbors turn out to be one of Sweden's most
dangerous biker gang, with their own plans for taking advantage of
the elderly members of the group. But Martha and her pensioners are
always up for what life throws their way.
This
was a delightful story, both funny and warmhearted, with characters I
came to love. And while it wasn't quite as comical as I had
anticipated, I thought the author had a real eye for detail, which
made this all the more enjoyable.
Thanks
to Library Thing for allowing me to read this in exchange for an
honest review.
