"In his second offering, Backman (A Man Called Ove) continues to
write with the same whimsical charm and warm heart as in his
debut."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Bring tissues when you start My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You
She's Sorry, but bring your funnybone, too. It's that kind of book
- one that, if you miss it, you'll never forgive yourself."--
"Business Insider"
"Every bit as churlish but lovable as Backman's cantankerous
protagonist in his debut, A Man Called Ove (2014), precocious Elsa
will easily work her way into the hearts of readers who like
characters with spunk to spare. A delectable homage to the power of
stories to comfort and heal, Backman's tender tale of the touching
relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter is a tribute
to the everlasting bonds of deep family ties."-- "Booklist
(starred)"
"Firmly in league with Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman. A touching,
sometimes funny, often wise portrait of grief." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
