And Every Morning the Way Home Gets a Little Longer by Fredrik Backman

Fredrik Backman is magical and he takes ordinary characters that we would pass on the street and shares their thoughts, hopes and dreams with us. Such is this new novella where a grandfather sits trying to make sense of his last days and searching for a way to explain it to his grandson. The days get more confusing for him and we see how the faces blur as he forgets if it is his grandson or his son sitting next to him. He also tries to make sense of where things went wrong with his relationship to his son and so right with his grandson. We get all the emotion, confusion and love of a life well lived and the desire to get it right. Thank you, Mr. Backman for getting it right.
