Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises by Fredrik Backman
A HEARTBREAKING AND HILARIOUS NOVEL FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A MAN CALLED OVE AND ANXIOUS PEOPLE
There are clear themes here, nominally: the importance of stories; the honesty of children; and the obtuseness of most adults, putting him firmly in league with the likes of Roald Dahl and Neil GaimanA touching, sometimes funny, often wise portrait of grief. * Kirkus *
The author's lightness of touch is definitely a contributor towards the novel's success. (It's already a best seller in his native country.) Fredrik conveys much in a few words . . . However a special warning to the ladies summed up in three words: wear waterproof mascara! I read the last few chapters verging between heart-glowing smiles and heart-wrenching sobs. I'll be ready for it the next few times I read it though and, indeed, the times after that. * The Bookbag *
Told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as [OVE] . . . It is a story about life and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different. * Laura's Little Book Blog *
A highly compelling read and it was easy to lose myself in the story * Off the Shelf blog *
