4.0

3.5 stars rounded up. The whole appeal of this book is not only that an elderly lady accomplishes things no one thinks she could have done, but that she uses the dismissal of others to her advantage. There’s something satisfying for everyone to identify with their weakest parts actually being their strongest.

Well that was fun! A seemingly harmless elderly lady, Mauve lives rent free in an apartment that’s she’s lived in all her life. But don’t let her frail voice, body fool you! A lot of fun and a very quick read! Enjoyed this immensely.
