MY GRANDMOTHER ASKED ME TO TELL YOU SHE'S SORRY
A charming, warmhearted novel from the author of the" New York Times" bestseller" A Man Called Ove."
Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsa s best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother s stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal.
When Elsa s grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa s greatest adventure begins. Her grandmother s instructions lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones but also to the truth about fairy tales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.
"My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She s Sorry" is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backman s bestselling debut novel, "A Man Called Ove." It is a story about life and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different."
