A little book with a big heartโfrom the #1 N ew York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Anxious People . โI read this beautifully imagined and moving novella in one sitting, utterly wowed, wanting to share it with everyone I know.โ โLisa Genova, bestselling author of Still Alice From the New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove , My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Sheโs Sorry , Britt-Marie Was Here , and Anxious People comes an exquisitely moving portrait of an elderly manโs struggle to hold on to his most precious memories, and his familyโs efforts to care for him even as they must find a way to let go. With all the same charm of his bestselling full-length novels, here Fredrik Backman once again reveals his unrivaled understanding of human nature and deep compassion for people in difficult circumstances. This is a tiny gem with a message youโll treasure for a lifetime. Review: The book made me wish I had a grandfather with whom my life would've had interesting stories. Also - Felt happier to know that I have a person who loves me just like the grandpa loves grandma. A book that brought so much smile to my face. Review: Escape impossible - Totally surprised by this one from Fredrik, it is like an abstract painting, true and beautiful with scares in every corner. Absolutely different from his other creations. Will keep you thinking.

Heartwarming and utterly beautiful
This book is so beautiful and in the simplest way. If you want your heart to melt in a puddle, this book is for you. It makes me cry everytime with just how beautiful it is. It's a story of a man and it takes place in his mind. He's slowly losing his memory. His grandson, Noah is sitting with him in his mind and it's a conversation between those two and instances of their lives. This description doesn't do justice to the book so please please just read this short gem of a book.
