"Everyday, everywhere, we go down one road or another. We play around; we stay at home; we fall in love and fall asleep right next to each other. We discover we need someone to sweep us off our feet to realize what time really is."

Backman is one of my all time favorite authors and I appreciate his stories and the impact of words.

I can't add much to the blurb without spoiling anything.
Beautiful and hauntingly hopeful short story.
Narration:
This was my first time listening to Santino Fontana. His performance was perfect for this emotionally evocative short. I look forward to more of his work.
Note:
While beautiful - I feel this is overpriced. $5.99 for a very short story that is only 67% of the ebook length (same cost for a 45min audio) is disappointing. I'm definitely glad I borrowed it from the library.

Voor een novelle is dit zeker niet slecht, maar ik denk dat dit beter was geweest als roman. Nu had ik niet echt tijd om aan de personages gehecht te raken. Het was wel weer een emotioneel en ontroerend verhaal, zoals alles van Backman
