#1 International Bestseller
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel meets The Italian Job in internationally-bestselling author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg’s witty and insightful comedy of errors about a group of delinquent seniors whose desire for a better quality of life leads them to rob and ransom priceless artwork.
Martha Andersson may be seventy-nine-years-old and live in a retirement home, but … and live in a retirement home, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to stop enjoying life. So when the new management of Diamond House starts cutting corners to save money, Martha and her four closest friends—The Genius, The Rake, Christina and Anna-Gretta (a.k.a. The League of Pensioners)—won’t stand for it. Fed up with early bedtimes and overcooked veggies, this group of feisty seniors sets about to regain their independence, improve their lot, and stand up for seniors everywhere.
Their solution? White collar crime. What begins as a relatively straightforward robbery of a nearby luxury hotel quickly escalates into an unsolvable heist at the National Museum. With police baffled and the Mafia hot on their trail, the League of Pensioners has to stay one walker’s length ahead if it’s going to succeed….
Told with all the insight and humor of A Man Called Ove or Where’d You Go Bernadette?, The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules is a delightful and heartwarming novel that goes to prove the adage that it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.

A little slow in the beginning but well worth the read. We will all be there one day.
Sorry really was very bored with this book.
Loved it !! held my attention thru out !!
Was a cute book.
I picked this book purely because I loved the title. I am so glad I did! This book was funny and inventive. I have shared it with several friends and they loved it!. I have ordered the second book in the series and cannot wait to read it.
Clever plot I loved all the characters reminded me of Miss Mamrple reads
I rarely put a book down, but this one was so juvenile and poorly written, that I gave up on it.
A very enjoyable read-very well written.Excellent plotting and great group of seniors!!
Book grows on you. There is a sequel which I hope to get before long.
Absolutely loved the story line. It will make a terrific movie.
Fun premise, one getting closer and closer for many of us, but has small relationship to life. Disappointing, because it wouldn’t have taken much more. Its more farce than funny.
This book was delightful and I laughed out loud while reading it.
Poorly written – silly plot. Didn’t finish it
Very light reading and not my type of book.
very entertaining and kept you wondering what would happen next. Great assisted living residents happenings.
