The last book I'd read by this author was "Beartown" and this one is wildly different, which speaks to his versatility.

Boken handlar om en 7-åring vars mormor dör vilket leder till att flickan skickas ut på en skattjakt. En jakt efter sanningen om alla hon känner och framförallt om sin mormor.
Rekommenderar till all som gillar Backman böcker.
