Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Old people breaking out of a Swedish care home! Robbing a bank in Götgatan? Moving (albeit slowly) around Stockholm? A book with a difference that’s for sure!
The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules
What you need to know before your trail
Martha Anderson may be 79 but she has dreams – big dreams – dreams of escaping her care home and robbing a bank for example. She and a few others come up with a cunning plan to break out and land themselves in a far more attractive Stockholm establishment.
Holding on tight to their zimmer frames, they’re off on a big and very funny adventure!
Travel Guide
Well this makes for a nice little jaunt around the city of Stockholm taking in some very cool places such as Södermalm which may not always be on a tourist map but which should be as this is an island region of Stockholm that really is the place to visit.
When you walk around a city and imagine a little old lady having done much of the same journey before you , it takes on a comical as well as interesting read. Very funny!
“Martha Andersson from Södermalm, Stockholm walked with a slight stoop, wearing a plain coat of non descript colour, chosen specially to avoid attracting attention.”
