Take one precocious seven year old who has been raised by a no nonsense yet totally inventive grandmother and place a heavy weight on her young shoulders. Her beloved, rather crazy grandmother has died leaving little Elsa unmoored in a sea of uncertainty and grief. Elsa must deliver letters to all the unusual people in her grandmother's life asking for forgiveness. Elsa manages this task while dealing with her mom's preoccupation with her pregnancy,her step dad looking for a way into her heart, her dad's uneasiness in part-time parenting and trying to save all the lost souls her grandmother kept an eye on. You will fall head over heels in love with wise-cracking Elsa and understand the power of the grandmother. Fredrik Backman made us discover a love of the quirky in his first book and now he takes us one step further into the life of a young girl trying to make sense of the real world, not the made up world her grandmother promised her.
