Enjoyable read. Goodreads:The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83 Years Oldby Hendrik Groen, Hester Velmans (Goodreads Author) (Translator)4957538Preethi's reviewJul 26, 2018it was amazingbookshelves: biography-or-author-saw-it-happen, laugh-out-loud-or-chuckle-some, pleasant-surprises, mcdreamy-or-men-to-die-for, musings-thoughts-observations, has-family-or-friends-theme, awesom-oticOMG, what an adorable book, this is!Groen is my personal hero - with equal parts of curmudgeon, realist facing facts, political commander, detached attachment, friend and lover.I enjoyed reading the entries in Groen's diaries - when he grumbles about the home he lives in or when he tells himself to stop whining or when he notices the state of elders in his country, while still realizing it is one of the richest in the world, detachedly or when he complains with love about his friends or when he adventures into getting himself a ride or when he muses on how much he is loving his lady love - Groen reminded me that you are not dead until you are - so keep living and enjoying all the emotions life throws at you.I giggled and shed a tear in equal parts through this book, and now definitely have a little more awareness about old people and their troubles.I will definitely read the next in this series.… (altro)

Filled with wisdom, history, politics, humor, friendship, love, grace, kindness, optimism and lots more humor.

This wonderful novel feels like watching a really good stand-up comedy program with a lovable and witty granddad as the comic.

Excellent; teaches life skills.

Bij Hendrik Groen verwacht ik meer, meer humor, meer diepgang. Dit verhaal over 2 doorsnee echtparen, gepensioneerd, gaan samen 2 maanden overwinterende Benidorm. Het ene echtpaar, Cobie en Theo hebben een leuk huwelijk, het andere stel, Hannie en Joop zijn vervelend tegen elkaar. Best begrijpelijk, Hannie is erg teleurgesteld in het leven, had heel graag kinderen gehad maar dat lukt niet. Dat heeft haar erg terneergedrukt haar verdere leven en Joop weet absoluutheid om te gaan met haar verdriet. Dus wenden ze zich van elkaar af. Eigenlijk dus een diep treurig verhaal, alle anderen, ook de joviale andere Nederlanders die ze ontmoeten doen hun best het “ gezellig” te houden, Joop wordt getroost door de mannen, Hannie door de vrouwen, maar niemand is in staat om de patstelling te doorbreken. Zo komen ze na die twee maanden weer thuis, gaat Hannie de was doen en Joop wat knutselen in zijn schuurtje… (altro)
