只有與眾不同的人可以改變世界，正常人一丁點屁事也改變不了！
艾莎七歲，她的外婆七十七歲。外婆是艾莎的超級英雄，也是她唯一的朋友。她們會在半夜翻牆闖入動物園，或者在睡不著的夜晚，一起到「幾乎甦醒之地」跟「米阿瑪斯王國」。而當她在學校受同學欺凌時，外婆總是給予她面對的勇氣。
可是，有天外婆卻不敵癌症而離開了她。艾莎決定要完成外婆的心願，幫她送信給她想要道歉的人，意外的冒險之旅於焉展開。漸漸她發現，故事裡的酒鬼、怪物、魅影，竟然真的存在現實世界，也查出了關於幾乎甦醒之地、米阿瑪斯王國的祕密。還有當她還不認識外婆之前，外婆那轟轟烈烈、精采萬分、且獨一無二的過往。
菲特烈．貝克曼以他處女作《明天別再來敲門》的精準喜感跟扣人心弦，書寫《阿嬤要我跟你說抱歉》。這則故事探究生與死、愛與友情，以及想像力的驚人力量。而最重要的是：永遠都敢與眾不同，永遠都要不聽話。

First, I breaks my heart to rate this 3 stars, but I just can't give it 4. As a preface, I've read the following books by Backman in this order: Anxious People, Beartown, Us Against You - and I've rated them all a solid 5 stars. In fact, I own all his books and the reason why I haven't read The Winners yet is because I'm not quite ready to get my heart broken. I digress. So I chose this book of Backman's to read next. I loved Granny in this book for the most part and she reminded me of my own Grandma. So that made me happy. I liked Elsa but had a hard time wrapping my head around an almost eight year old being as intellectually advanced as she was. Perhaps it would've been more realistic and less stressful to my psyche if she were 10ish. The character development in this book was fantastic. However, I was aware of Brit-Marie's future considering she has her own book, but I still didn't care for her until, like Elsa, the ending. The way the characters all came together was unique, in a sort of gut-wretching yet hilarious way that only Backman can deliver. The reason why I didn't give this book the 4 stars that it may have very well deserved was that frankly, I was consistently bored. The fairytale parts weren't intriguing, albeit an integral part of the story. That being said, the last 40ish pages were phenomenal and of course, a tear-jerker.Overall, do I recommend this book? Absolutely.
The first time I tried reading this book I DNF'd it, maybe it wasn't the right time to pick it up. This time, the story was completely different. I laughed, giggled, cried, cried harder, devoured the last hundred pages, kept crying even harder.I loved the characters, their back stories, their personalities, and how one is putting everything in order with each letter. I wish everyone visits, or try to visit, the Land-Of-Almost-Awake at least once, and see y'all in Miamas telling stories for ten thousand eternities of fairy tales.
incredibly charming so many good quotes 5 stars because as Granny would say; "whoever disagrees needs their head examined." :,-)
