โœฆ Synopsis


Itโ€™s never too late to start over... A historical fiction of a man who changed the world by being at the right place at the right time. โ€œHistorical figures like Maoโ€™s third wife, Vice President Truman, and Stalin appear, to great comic effect. Other charactersโ€”most notably Albert Einsteinโ€™s hapless half-brotherโ€”are cleverly spun into the raucous yarn, and all help drive this gentle lampoon of procedurals and thrillers.โ€ โ€”Publishers Weekly, starred โ€œ[The scenes] will just keep readers amused almost non-stop, and thatโ€™s a feat few writers achieve. A great cure for the blues, especially for anyone who might feel bad about growing older.โ€ โ€”Kirkus Reviews, starredโ€ Excerpt From: Jonas Jonasson. โ€œThe 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.โ€ Apple Books.
