A charming, warmhearted novel 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 crazyâas in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsaâs best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmotherâs stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal.
When Elsaâs grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsaâs greatest adventure begins. Her grandmotherâs 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 no other.
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Sheâs Sorry is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backmanâs bestselling debut novel, 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.
