About this audiobook
“I read this beautifully imagined and moving novella in one sitting, utterly wowed, wanting to share it with everyone I know.” —Lisa Genova, bestselling author of Still Alice
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, and Britt-Marie Was Here comes an exquisitely moving portrait of an elderly man’s struggle to hold on to his most precious memories, and his family’s efforts to care for him even as they must find a way to let go.
With all the same charm of his bestselling full-length novels, here Fredrik Backman once again reveals his unrivaled understanding of human nature and deep compassion for people in difficult circumstances. This is a tiny gem with a message you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have never read something this powerful, this poetic, this heartwrenchingly delicate w. life's tragedy of death & loss, and this stunningly beautiful all together in one singular piece of work. Until this book, I had never gotten to a point of deep, gut wrenching tears when reading. Then, this book, tore me right open - so beautiful, so devastating. What an incredible soul for sharing this story with us. I feel honoured.
