Oldish Book Club: Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules
In the latest episode of the Oldish Book Club co-hosts Dr Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust sit down with our friend Leslie Ross-Degnan to talk about The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Swedish author Catharina Ingelman-Sunberg. It's the first in the League of Pensioners series. It's a rollicking heist novel about a group of Oldish Pensioners who break out of the retirement home into...prison! It's entertaining, insightful, and quintessentially Oldish.
Leslie Ross-Degnan enjoyed years in the classroom, loving picture books with young children. Now, in her oldish years, she spends time writing children’s poetry & picture books, as well as writing reviews of new picture books. You can find her reviews on Amazon, Good Reads, and Barnes and Noble sites. Leslie also enjoys reading adult literature. When she heard about our podcast, she asked us if we’d be interested in reviewing and discussing grown up books with ‘oldish' characters. We said we were. This is our 3rd book review and discussion with Leslie.
