While at times it was a little difficult to keep up with the Land-of-Almost-Awake, I loved the way Backman used this to let us see both the imaginary world and the real world - and the parallels between them - through Elsa's eyes.
Fredrik Backman is fast becoming a favourite author of mine and I'm looking forward to picking up another of his books.
Moderate: Death, Cancer, and Bullying
