About this product

Product Information

A charming, warmhearted vel from the author of the New York Times bestseller A Man Called Ove. Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy--as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsa's best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother's stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and body needs to be rmal. When Elsa's grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa's greatest adventure begins. Her grandmother's instructions lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones but also to the truth about fairy tales and kingdoms and a grandmother like other. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backman's bestselling debut vel, A Man Called Ove. It is a story about life and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different.

A trip like no other
I loved this book from beginning to end. A special bond between grandchild and grandmother with dreams and imagination abound. My emotions went on a roller coaster ride. Want to read everything else this author has written.

Grandmother should Apologize for this story!
I rarely give up on reading a book - but this one just annoyed me - so after 2 chapters I put it away. It was my book club assigned book - and perhaps my friends will all love it - and I'll be the only one out of 8 to dislike it! With that being said - good luck if you choose to read this one - and I hope you are one of those readers that can give this book 5 stars!

Grandmother and the author should apologize fur this book!
Terrible read! Only bought it because A Man Called Ove was so good. Don't waste your money on this one. I'm hoping Bear Town will be a better read.

Such A Wonderful Book!
This is a wonderful and beautiful book. An adult withs imagination and a passion for humanity and feelings will love this book. A teen curious about life and adults and relationships between humans and non-human animals could enjoy this book. I read one other book by this writer, and it was also so good!

Fredrik Backman's My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
I bought two Backman books and have not gotten to them yet. I read A Man Called Ove and it was awesome. I expect no less from the other two. I also bough Britt Marie Was Here. Can't wait to get to that one yet.. This is why I can't honestly rate the books yet. I expect to give them both 5 stars after I read them.

Interesting take on health, life and love
Deep inner meanings can be brought into play, but a nice book with humorous insights to "being different."

One of Backman's best
I got this from the library originally, and I loved it so much I wanted my own copy. Not many books get to be on my book shelf, but this is one. Fredrik Backman writes such a compelling story with rich characters, full of humor, pain, joy, wisdom, and love.

Boring and stupid
I bought this for a book club that I am in. I have tried twice to read it, but I just cannot get into it. I do not like fantasy or science fiction, so maybe that is the issue. All I know is that this book is boring. I finally gave up and will not read it.
