I enjoyed the story telling in the book and all the characters. It’s complicated to write in present and past tense so consistently. Backman is very talented.
I can honestly say that my soul felt renewed after reading this book. I was moved to tears by the connections that were made by art across very different lives, and by Backman's exploration of the ways that friends can remain deeply within us - whether they are near us or not.
Beautiful story. Extremely well written and so, so very human.
