My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
by Fredrik Backman
lighthearted
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Having read and loved both A Man Called Öve and Britt-Marie Was Here, I really struggled with this. I found the fantasy element, along with Elsa’s dialogue (which felt greatly exaggerated), really awkward and slow to read.
The wider characters were fun to read about. I especially enjoyed the character development of the wider characters, as you feel yourself warm up to all of them by the end.
For anyone who struggled with this but hasn’t read another Backman, I would encourage you to read his others as they are much better in my opinion.
