レビュー
incredibly charming so many good quotes 5 stars because as Granny would say; "whoever disagrees needs their head examined." :,-)
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.
"It’s difficult ending a fairy tale. All tales have to end sometime, of course. Some can’t finish soon enough. This one, for example, could feasibly have been rounded off and packed away long ago. The problem is this whole issue of heroes at the ends of fairy tales, and how they are supposed to “live happily to the end of their days.” This gets tricky, from a narrative perspective, because the people who reach the end of their days must leave others who have to live out their days without them.It is very, very difficult to be the one who has to stay behind and live without them." Fredrik Backman can make the most regular , daily , humane matters into something magical and in that regard he is a superhero and I'll always pick up his work because everyone needs a superhero in their lives. Also I miss my Grandmother. Gonna cry brb
