I just LOVE Fredrik Backman's books! Wonderful characters and great humor mixed with just the right amount of tragedy. My only issue is that several of the characters are never given names - as an audiobook listener, it was a little confusing to figure out that the woman in the black skirt was the same person as the woman in the blue jeans. I also wish that "the boy with the syndrome" had been given a name, especially after Elsa gets to know him and his history better; same thing with "the policewoman with the green eyes". Otherwise, it was amazing!
