I am heartbroken, not just because of the ending but because of the rest of the story. This book os one of the best I've ever read and I'll think about it (I hope) for the rest of my life. 

Perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman.

This style of book just isn’t for me. There is too much waffle between interesting commentary or events, although the second half of the book was better than the first half. Very nearly stopped after 100 pages of not a lot happening, but it was pleasant enough although far too reflective for me.
