Happiness Has No Wrinkles

The plan of eighty-five-year-old Poletta seems perfect: to play the role of a senile old lady and make her son pay for her stay at a luxurious boarding house on the French Riviera. But he unexpectedly sends her to an inconspicuous hotel lost in the outskirts of Paris.

A chalkboard with a daily menu, checkered tablecloths, the smell of overcooked oil... The new tenant dreams of only one thing: to get out of this hole as soon as possible! However, Poletta's curious nature compels her to get involved in the affairs of the hotel's residents. What do the mysterious letters found in Monsieur Georges' room conceal? Who is blackmailing Monsieur Yvon? And why does Juliette cry so often? One thing is certain: Poletta's investigations will astonishingly change the fates of the guests and herself.

This inspiring story, based on real events from the author's life, proves that one can love, laugh, and sing out loud at any age.
