Product Information

The redundancies alternate between being humorous and reinforcing thematic textual points, and sometimes they do both at the same time. She used to be a doctor, a surgeon who traveled all around the world saving people’s lives in dangerous places.

I figured no matter how good the rest of the book was, the fantasy aspect was going to be worth at least 2 negative stars. So when a child and a war soldier look at the same issue and engage in a long discussion, their respective identities and backgrounds stand beside them like faithful sentries. Now, aging and eccentric she makes up fairy tales to entertain and to teach her beloved granddaughter.The novel is ostensibly that of a little girl named Elsa who is seven years old and her beloved grandmother.

What they actually meant was 'she is massively annoying for her age', which they directed at her parents with strained smiles spread all over their faces. Grandma expected of her to read books to her while grandma drove her ancient rusting Renault around town, without a driver's license. The treasure hunt unleashed in the letters, would bring closure to everyone mentioned or addressed in the letters.The story takes place in Sweden and follows Elsa, a 7 year old who knows she is different from other children her age.

I’ve been wanting to read My Grandmother Sends Her Regards And Apologises by Fredrik Backman ever since I read (and loved!This book, with a quirky, lovable, eccentric, unique cast of characters; its cheeky sense of humor; social commentary and tongue in cheek approach to the absurdities of 'Society', combined with fairy tales in the Harry Potter zeitgeist, kept me cemented to the plot and pathos of an extraordinary as well as entertaining story, written by a highly talented author. But then looking at everyone else's ratings, there's something definitely wrong with me and most likely my hearing. At night Elsa runs to her grandmother's stories, to the Land of Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas.
