![]() ![]() ![]() I only discovered author Fredrik Backman a few months ago, but he has already taken a firm spot in my list of absolute favourite authors. Her grandmother's letters lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and totally ordinary old crones-but also to the truth about fairytales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other. So when Elsa's grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has hurt, it marks the beginning of Elsa's greatest adventure. There, everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal. ![]() At night Elsa runs to her grandmother's stories, to the Land of Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas. She is also Elsa's best, and only, friend. Standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-men-who-want-to-talk-about-Jesus-crazy. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy. My edition: Hardback, published on 4 June 2015 by Sceptre Books, 320 pages.ĭescription: Elsa is seven years old and different. ![]()
