My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman

It's the story of the beautiful legacy that a grandmother leaves her granddaughter. I was taken by Elsa and her grandmother from the very beginning. Encourage them to ask questions about your personal life, so that they too can be future storytellers and keep memories alive.Īt the heart of the story is a seven year old girl without friends, an outsider in her school who is loved deeply by her cantankerous, seventy-seven year old grandmother. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading this!!!! I also suggest that if you are a grandparent.Īsk your grand child how much they know about you. The first person I can't wait to share this book with is my oldest daughter. I need to buy at least 3 copies, (physical books), to give as gifts. This book is for ALL AGES!! I was so incredibly grateful to receive this book from the publisher, and Netgalley, because.I was hoping I could save myself some money. Later- she wrote a paper about her -great grandmother- from our family history. she, too, felt as though she knew her great- grandmother through stories I shared with her. but they were some of my best childhood memories.Īfter my first daughter was born. I may have only had those 3 special years with Granda Cookie. While reading this AMAZING GEM of a story.I often reflected back on my grandma Cookie!Īfter my dad died -when I was 4yrs old- (her son, Max, was only 34). The issues at heart are family bonds, Family history, reflections of the past, life lessons, love, forgiveness, acceptance, laughter. The fairytales add to the enjoyment and depths of issues of the heart! Trolls, dragons, kingdoms, magical treasures, Harry Potter, ice cream, cookies, beer, cinnamon buns, cloud animals, Star Wars, and more. She is strong independent woman, who wants to say 'I am sorry' to those she loves. Grandmother is eccentric, a little nutty, a superhero.both a sword and a shield.

manages not only to write a unique-charming-heartwarming novel.īut he has created extraordinary memorable characters, 'AGAIN'!!!Įlsa is the greatest combinations of both her parents, and grandparents, but mostly she is unique and different.

(sometimes all at the same time)!įredrik Beckman, author of 'A Man Called Ove', does it again.
