I am 83 years old.'Hendrik Groen may be old, but he is far from dead and isn't planning to be buried anytime soon. Granted, his daily strolls are getting shorter because his legs are no longer willing and he had to visit his doctor more than he'd like. Technically speaking he is ... elderly. But surely there is more to life at his age than weak tea and potted geraniums?Hendrik sets out to write an expose a year in the life of his care home in Amsterdam, revealing all its ups and downs--not least his new endeavor the anarchic Old-But-Not Dead Club. And when Eefje moves in--the woman Hendrik has always longed for--he polishes his shoes (and his teeth), grooms what's left of his hair and attempts to make something of the life he has left, with hilarious, tender and devastating consequences.The indomitable Hendrik Groen--Holland's unlikeliest hero--has become a cultural phenomenon in his native Netherlands and now he and his famously anonymous creator are conquering the globe. A major Dutch bestseller, The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen will not only delight older readers with its wit and relevance, but will charm and inspire those who have years to go before their own expiry date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hendrik Groen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478918845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478918844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d","brand":"Hendrik Groen","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":43935617581311,"sku":"9781478918844","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_00624467-eac5-4b2d-8f44-b53fb6ee6f2c.jpg?v=1681420849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secret-diary-of-hendrik-hendrik-groen-9781478918844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
