Damn, I wish I could read these four beauties all over again for the first time. What exhilarating and funny adventures they have been! Honestly we need more books with elderly people as the main protagonists. Osman writes with such understanding for his characters - for their accumulated experiences, insights, love, loss, stubbornness, humour, pain, naughtiness, cunning and their lust for life. I’ll never look at old people the same again and that’s a good thing. Don’t underestimate them - it’s terribly unkind and even more dangerous. The books have also reminded me of just how much I love reading. Somehow it got lost in everyday this and that.
