Ladies' visit

Rattle Trouble: Two Retirees and a Baby

Hendrik Groen and Evert are best friends – through thick and thin. Usually, the two seventy-year-olds spend Friday evenings playing chess, enjoying a glass of egg liqueur, and relishing their quiet retirement life. However, one evening, Evert unexpectedly brings a lady visitor: a baby. There’s no sign of the parents. The elderly babysitters, reluctantly, surprisingly do a great job as they try to get the little one home as quickly as possible – which turns out to be more challenging than they anticipated.

The fourth book by SPIEGEL bestselling author Hendrik Groen takes place ten years before the famous diaries. As always, it is wonderfully darkly humorous, entertaining, and profoundly read by Felix von Manteuffel.
