Takes you on a ride to the edge of the cliff, with twists and turns along the way, then throws you a rope. Gut wrenching, touches many nerves, heart warming. So many thought provoking statements, there’s no skimming this novel.
Backman is one of my favorite authors so I had this delivered on the day it launched. While I loved his reoccurring theme of the importance of community and finding a chosen family, this didn’t have the magic of some of the other books I’ve loved of his. I’m probably knocking at a couple points just because I know how much I’ve loved some of his other books and the characters that he created. If you’re looking for a back man to start with I would grab My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry.
