This book made me almost cry at several points. I’m so sad. Amazing writing, I loved the weather metaphors.

I want to say so much and I’m speechless at the same time
I am still sobbing
metaphors
grandpa sits on a square connected to memory departments by lanes
one is for family, one for mathematics, etc.
but one is for his wife
it rained in his brain when she died and the road to the department has washed away
now the road is closed, guarded with a warning sign
imagination as reality
we (I) don’t actually know what is real and what is happening in grandpa’s brain (tho I can suppose)
it illustrates dementia and the insides of a brain (imagination)
spot on similes

“what does it feel like?”
"like constantly searching for something in your pockets. first you lose the small things, then it's the big ones. it starts with keys and ends with people."
‘the little prince’?
“all grown-ups are angry, it’s just children and old people who laugh”
different kinds of love in the family
• grandson - grandpa
• son - father
• wife - husband
it also has ones of the best love descriptions I’ve ever read about
”when you looked straight at me when I was seventy I fell just as hard as I did when I was sixteen”
🔝 timeless ~ taylor swift
“I didn’t care why you said yes. just that you stayed”
🔝 the archer ~ taylor swift

For ei bok! Dette er den fyrste Fredrik Backman eg har lese, og sjølv om ho er kort er ho full av kraft. Backman skriv sterkt om å leve med demens, om korleis det er å miste nokon før dei har dødd. Og ikkje mist er det bok full av kjærleik. Det er kjærleik mellom eit gammalt ektepar, mellom far og søn, bestefar og barnebarn. Og redsel. Redsel for å miste seg sjølv og minna sine.

"Once your goodbye is perfect, you have to leave me and not look back. Live your life. It's an awful thing to miss someone who's still here."
A short, heartbreaking, beautifully-written novella. It brought up a lot of feelings regarding my own grandfather with dementia.
