Prepare to fall in love with My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman, the beloved author of A Man Called Ove. This enchanting novel tells the story of seven-year-old Elsa and her eccentric, unconventional grandmother who is her best friend and protector. When Granny dies, she leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, and it's up to Elsa to deliver them.
As Elsa embarks on her grandmother's treasure hunt through their apartment building, she discovers that the magical fairy-tale kingdom Granny told her about—the Land-of-Almost-Awake—might not be entirely imaginary after all. Each neighbor she meets holds a piece of her grandmother's past, and through their stories, Elsa learns about courage, friendship, and the extraordinary power of love. Backman weaves together humor and heartbreak, creating a story that celebrates the misfits, the different, and those who dare to be themselves.
Perfect for fans of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, The Little Paris Bookshop, and anyone who loves stories about the bonds between generations. This novel will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the transformative power of storytelling. Essential reading for those who appreciate quirky characters, emotional depth, and the magic hidden in everyday life.
