Things My Son Needs to Know about the World by Fredrik Backman
3.0
I have read numerous books by Fredrik Backman, of which My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry made a major impression on me and was my favorite. I was glad to have another of his books to nestle in with a read.
As a Mom and Grandmother, I enjoyed reading this open letter from Backman to his son (am guessing this is his first child of two). There were passages that had me grinning with acknowledgment, not for the exact circumstances but rather for the overall evocation of a loving, overjoyed, tired, befuddled, first-time parent. Been there, done that, and it was enjoyable to have those memories brought back to consciousness.
