My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry is a quirky story full of interesting characters. I enjoyed getting to meet Elsa, an almost eight year old, who has a special bond with her grandmother. Elsa's mother and grandmother are often at odds with each other and have a strained relationship. Elsa's grandmother tells her the most amazing fairy tales when they journey to the Land-of-Almost-Awake. Unfortunately, Elsa's grandmother dies early in the book. However, she leaves a letter for Elsa asking her to deliver apology letters to people her grandmother knew. The process helps Elsa to learn more about her grandmother and also the fairy tales she told her.
My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry is a heartwarming story about the human spirit. It also is a story about the bond between family and those people that become like family to us. The diverse cast of characters is brought to vivid life by the author and each one has a unique voice in the story.
My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry will make you laugh, cry, and dream as only an almost eight year old can do.
My son had a very special bond with his grandmother and this story definitely reminded me of that unique relationship. This book provides many topics for discussion and would make a good book club selection. I look forward to reading more books by Fredrik Backman.
I received a copy of this book through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
