Backman doesn’t miss!!

I am continuously impressed by the characters he creates and how close you feel to them at the end. I will watch the movie when I am emotionally ready LOL

Absolutely heartbreaking book, literally torn me to pieces and killed all the happiness in my life forever. 10/10 highly recommend.

It took about 50 pages and then I fell in love. Another wonderful story - same flavor as "My Grandmother..." - quirky characters, lots of hardship and kindnesses. The author has a wonderful style and wry humor. Definitely recommend
