But at age 83 1\/4, this feisty, indomitable curmudgeon has no plans to go out quietly. Bored of weak tea and potted geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging, Hendrik has decided to rebel - on his own terms. He begins writing an exposé secretly recording the antics of day-to-day life in his retirement home, where he refuses to take himself, or his fellow \"inmates,\" too seriously.\u003cbr\u003e With an eccentric group of friends, he founds the wickedly anarchic Old-But-Not-Dead Club, and he and his best friend, Evert, gleefully stir up trouble, enraging the home's humorless director and turning themselves into unlikely heroes. And when a sweet and sassy widow moves in next door, he polishes his shoes, grooms what's left of his hair, and determines to savor every ounce of joy in the time he has left, with hilarious and tender consequences.\u003cbr\u003e A bestselling phenomenon that has captured imaginations around the world, \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen\u003c\/em\u003e is inspiring, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny with a deep and poignant core: a page-turning delight for readers of any age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHendrik Groen \u003c\/b\u003estarted his diary on the literary website of \u003ci\u003eTorpedo \u003c\/i\u003eMagazine.
