My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman
About the book:
From the author of the New York Times bestseller A Man Called Ove, this charming, warmhearted novel introduces us to Elsa, a seven-year-old who’s a little different—and her seventy-seven-year-old grandmother, who’s downright eccentric. Their bond is forged in bedtime stories about faraway lands where nobody needs to be normal.
When Elsa’s beloved grandmother dies, she leaves behind a trail of apology letters—and sends Elsa on an adventure filled with drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and hidden truths. Through this journey, Elsa discovers the power of storytelling, forgiveness, and the legacy of a fiercely imaginative grandmother.
Come for the conversation, stay for the community. All are welcome!
