This book is so good. Backman gently explores grief through the eyes of a precocious 7 year old and the stories and fairy tales her grandmother told her. This story is so captivating and touching. The lines between reality and dreams are blurred and sometimes confusing, but isn’t that the way of life? I loved every minute of it.
