Reviews with content warning for Dementia - Всяка сутрин пътят към дома става все по-дълъг

I loved Fredrik Backman’s Beartown series and this is the only other book I’ve read by him so far. It was interesting and sweet, but I didn’t connect to the characters as much as I have with Backman’s characters in the past. Not my favorite, but worth the 54 minutes it took to listen to the audiobook.

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.

Definitely had me in the feels at the end there. And all that about putting more stones under the anchor 😭 Beautiful quick read. I think anyone, with or without loved ones who have/had dementia or Alzheimer’s, can appreciate this little novella.
