My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik BackmanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh my...where do I start? I truly enjoyed Fredrik Backman's "A Man Called Ove" decided to give his second novel a read too. As in his first novel, he continues to write with the same charm only instead of a elderly man, this one has an elderly woman. This grandmother is about as sassy as one can be, and is as close to her "almost eight-year old" granddaughter as possible.
The story moves on through a series of fairy tales told from grandma to granddaughter and is actually a road map for the almost eight-year old to use once grandma isn't around.
This novel is much like those of Neil Gaiman. Not quite real but yet very real. I loved reading it and do highly recommend it. I'm looking forward to reading Backman's third novel "Britt-Marie Was Here".
