Fredrik Backman continues to be on the top of my list of favorite modern authors. This novella maybe short and sweet but it’s full of powerful emotions.

Def 5/5.
The way my heart cried. So many emotions, so many stories were packed in such a little world. This is indeed a re-re-read work.
“We lived an extraordinarily ordinary life.” “An ordinarily extraordinary life.” She laughs. Old eyes, new sunlight, and he still remembers how it felt to fall in love. The rain hasn’t arrived yet.
"Isn’t that the best of all life’s ages, an old man thinks as he looks at his grandchild. When a boy is just big enough to know how the world works but still young enough to refuse to accept it."
Beckman!
