the secret diary of hendrik groen (2014)


uproarious frank documentation of rib-jabbingly sharp observations of the elderly occupants of a dutch care home who are mostly semi-independent lower middle-class whites with rather breathtaking xenophobia and other prejudices that ring awfully true. also includes not-unexpected developments that nevertheless manage to blind-side you as you read. 

jolly good fun and poignant at the same time.

this book totally deserves to be read.
