For fans of A Man Called Ove comes a funny, big-hearted tale about a vintage man who is young in mind. Hendrik Groen may be old, but he's far from dead and isn't likely to be buried any time soon. Awarded, his daily strolls are getting shorter because his hip and legs are no longer inclined, and he has to visit his doctor more than he'd like. Technically speaking he's...elderly. But surely there exists more to life at his age than vulnerable tea and potted geraniums? Hendrik models out to create an exposé: a year in the life span of his care home in Amsterdam, uncovering all its pros and cons - not least his new effort, the anarchic Old-but-Not-Dead Membership. And when Eefje moves in - the girl Hendrik has always longed for - he polishes his shoes (and his tooth), grooms what's remaining of his locks, and makes an attempt to make something of the life span he has remaining, with hilarious, tender, and devastating repercussions. The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen can not only delight more aged listeners with its wit and relevance but appeal and inspire those people who have years to travel before their own expiry schedules.
