My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman

emotional lighthearted mysterious slow-paced

3.5

This was the Backman book that took me the longest to finish. It starts pretty slow and the climax feels like it never really happens but this is a really sweet story. It isn't Backman's best - there are a lot of characters to follow and the story gets a bit confusing bouncing between the real world and Elsa's made up land of The Land of Almost Awake; however, if you can get into it, this is a very endearing story about coping with loss and learning to be yourself when you don't quite fit in.
