This collection felt more cohesive than the previous one, almost more like a novella than a short story collection. The tone was quite different and Maud a little less feisty perhaps but I still very much enjoyed it.

These short stories tell of the adventures of Maud, an elderly woman from Sweden. However, Maud isn’t as nice as we typically expect little old ladies to be. We get to follow Maud as she “solves” problems at home, and we get to follow her on her trips abroad. The stories are funny, quick, and remind you why the elderly should not be underestimated.
