Average rating3.8
It was a fun short audiobook about an old lady who has a far more interesting life than most young people in surprising ways. Points for using the word popinjay.

This was adorable. I went into this blind and it did deliver. This elderly woman is acc so amazing. I don't know if I should be saying that but yay
Really loved this delightful slip of a short story collection. An older woman in an Swedish apartment complex kills some people, but it's funny. Tore through it in an afternoon without breaking a sweat, would recommend to anyone.
Grattis, lilla Maud. :-DLittle Maud is a nasty old bitch. She kills people. Now, one can think her reasons to kill people are good, even commendable, but she is still a nasty old bitch. :-DThis book is a collection of short stories, about an almost 90 years old lady, who is very spry and agile for her age. It's funny. :-) Reminds me of [b:Suloinen myrkynkeittäjä 6792045 Suloinen myrkynkeittäjä Arto Paasilinna https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1369129931l/6792045.SY75.jpg 642985] (Interestingly enough that hasn't been translated into English.)
I love cute old people and Maude is no exception. A fun and quick collection of stories where a shameless, unemotional old woman just tries to live her life in peace- by any means necessary. So cute.
the ending of the last short story didn't feel satisfying. i enjoyed the anthology for the most part, it was a very easy and light read. super interesting premise!
People always underestimate the elderly. They immediately assume they are either deaf, frail or both. Enter Maud...
Through a series of short stories we follow Maud as she goes about her days and “handles” the people who make her life less than comfortable.
This is one little “old lady” you do not want to get on your bad side.
