A charming, warmhearted novel from the author of the New York Times bestseller A Man Called Ove Elsa is seven years old and different. -- Kirkus Reviews Full of heart, hope, forgiveness, and the embracing of differences, Elsa\'s story is one that sticks with you long after you\'ve turned the last page.-- Library Journal.
A touching, sometimes funny, often wise portrait of grief. . .
Firmly in league with Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman .
It is a story about life and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different.
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 novel, A Man Called Ove .
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 no other.
When Elsa\'s Grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa\'s greatest adventure begins.
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 nobody needs to be normal.
She is also Elsa\'s best, and only, friend.
Her Grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy--as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy.
