When seven-year-old Elsa's eccentric Granny dies, she leaves behind a trail of letters apologising to people she has wronged throughout her life. As Elsa sets out to deliver them, she uncovers the truth behind Granny's fantastical bedtime stories and discovers a family, a community, and a love she never knew existed - a story that celebrates imagination, grief and the ties that quietly bind us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nElsa is seven years old and different, and her best - and only - friend is her grandmother, who fills her nights with fairy tales unlike any others: wild, sweeping stories of the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the kingdom of Miamas, populated by knights, princesses and monsters, all designed to explain Granny's own strange and troubled past. When Granny dies, she leaves behind a series of letters apologising to people she has wronged over the years, and asks Elsa to deliver them one by one. As Elsa sets off around her grandmother's apartment block armed only with these letters, she meets the Wurse, the Monster, the Woman Who Dresses In Black, and a cast of neighbours who prove to be far more layered than their nicknames suggest. Piece by piece, Elsa realises that every fairy tale Granny ever told her was rooted in truth, and that Granny's real legacy is the tight-knit community she quietly protected for years, without anyone quite realising it at the time. Written with Fredrik Backman's trademark blend of humour, heartbreak and hope, this is ultimately a story about grief, imagination, and the extraordinary ordinary people who shape a childhood, told entirely through the eyes of a whip-smart, unapologetically honest seven-year-old narrator whose voice stays with you long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the author of the phenomenon A Man Called Ove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA heart-warming, tissue-worthy story of family, grief and imagination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Rachel Joyce and Maria Semple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new UK paperback edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for book clubs and lovers of literary fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beloved international bestseller translated into dozens of languages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFredrik Backman is a Swedish author, blogger and columnist whose novels have become worldwide phenomena.
