Hendrik Groen may be old, but he is far from dead and isn't planning to be buried anytime soon. Instead, he sets out to write an exposé: a year in the life of his care home in Amsterdam.

Summary / AnnotationCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
A heartwarming read submitted by calliv22 on July 20, 2018, 5:04pm If you look at the subjects this book is classified under it does not sound that appealing. However, do not be fooled. This is a wonderful read—and especially good as an audiobook. The book is at times laugh out loud funny. It’s also grounding, insightful, and heartwarming. I’ve since recommended it to friends both young and old.
