"A few years turned into more years, and more years turned into all years. Years have a habit of behaving like that."
This was everything I hoped, expected, and dreamed it would be and then some! Every time I read Fredrik Backman I fall more and more in love with him, more in love with his characters, and more in love with the communities and families he breathes life into so beautifully. I love that Britt-Marie was given her own story, her own voice, and nobody else but Backman could have written her with the nuances of an OCD micro-manager with a knack for sticking ones nose in other people's business and made her quite so loveable.
