THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER Sitting quietly in his room in an old people's home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesn't want to begin. His one-hundredth birthday party to be precise. The Mayor will be there. The press will be there. But, as it turns out, Allan will not . . . Escaping (in his slippers) through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, Allan makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, Allan's earlier life is revealed. A life in which - remarkably - he played a key role behind the scenes in some of the momentous events of the twentieth century. Translated by Roy Bradbury.

Apparently this book has received rave reviews in Europe. It's a Swedish tale that takes a romp through the 20th century with the protagonist reminiscing about his role in several historical world events, while on the lam from the old folks' home with a motley crew of folks. Add a murder mystery or two......it's both interesting and silly.....
It was a book group selection, and even though we enjoyed reading it, we didn't find there was a lot to discuss. I'm glad I read it, though it's not staying on my "keeper" shelf.
