Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • It’s no coincidence that it’s one of his most well-known! If it’s the first Backman book you pick up, his writing style and the way he changes topics take a little getting used to, but after the first 2 chapters you’ll get used to it right away and you’ll love it because he knows how to build a plot in an amazing way that pulls you into the story without ever getting bored.

    so and so, it is slow in the development of the story, it has beautiful descriptions. I started with Anxious People (it's perfect, especially if you like the author's writing style), this one is slower, generally he writes as if he's capturing thoughts we all have. I would call it very honest writing.

    The title caught my attention and I was looking forward to reading it eagerly, but I was disappointed by the writing style. It has some nice elements like a novel, but it analyzes and repeats many things, becoming tiresome.

    I started reading it with great enthusiasm, unfortunately in my opinion it is tiring and the writing style and plot are slow. Of course, others may like it!

    It is the combination of a fairytale and a novel. Many meanings for all ages, especially children of divorced parents will identify with it

Description & Specifications

HAS BEEN TRANSLATED INTO 42 LANGUAGES. The book that made millions of readers laugh and cry. Elsa is seven years old and does not resemble any other girl her age. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and everyone thinks she is completely crazy. Everyone except Elsa, who is convinced that her grandmother is a genius.

Ready for anything to entertain or protect her granddaughter. Even to break into the zoo, shoot with paintballs, or flirt with police officers. She is not only Elsa's best friend but also her only friend.

At night, Elsa finds refuge in the stories her grandmother weaves about six fantastic kingdoms, where no one is obliged to behave normally. All of this comes to a sudden halt when her grandmother passes away. However, she left behind the most exciting treasure hunt for Elsa: a pile of letters that must be delivered to their recipients, people with whom her grandmother had clashed.

Thus begins Elsa's great adventure, through which she will uncover the truth hidden behind her grandmother's fairy tales, a woman who truly did not resemble anyone else. A witty, comedic, touching, and subversive novel that offers a different perspective on our everyday life, as well as on everyone's right to be and live as they choose.
