5.0

Really, truly a wonderful book. Backman is a master of character interaction, weaving a realistic and charming world with equally charming characters.

The story of Elsa and her late grandmother is one of the best stories I've read in a long time. From the Land of Almost Awake to reality, Backman paints a picture of a little girl learning to live life without her Granny, discovering who she was and who she touched along the way.

I cannot recommend this book enough.
