My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

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 crazyâ€”as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsaâ€™s best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmotherâ€™s stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal.

When Elsaâ€™s grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsaâ€™s greatest adventure begins. Her grandmotherâ€™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.

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Sheâ€™s Sorry is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backmanâ€™s 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.
