My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

The author of the New York Times bestseller A Man Called Ove returns with a lovable, heartfelt book.

Elsa has changed since she was seven years old. At seventy-seven years old, her grandma is insane—as in, she shoots paintball guns at people while standing on the balcony. In addition, she is Elsa's one and only friend. Elsa seeks solace in her grandmother's tales at night, when she finds herself in the Kingdom of Miamas and the Land-of-Almost-Awake, where no one has to fit in and everyone is unique.

Elsa's biggest journey starts when her grandma passes away and leaves behind a string of letters apologising to individuals she has mistreated. Following her grandmother's directions, she discovers the truth about fairy tales, kingdoms, and a grandma unlike any other in addition to finding herself in an apartment complex filled with monsters, attack dogs, inebriated people, and elderly crones.

With the same comedic precision and heartfelt storytelling of Fredrik Backman's best-selling first book, A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry. It's a tale of life and death and one of the most significant rights guaranteed to humankind: the freedom to be unique.
