A Novella

De: Fredrik Backman

Narrado por: David Morse

A little book with a big heart—from the New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and Anxious People.

“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, Britt-Marie Was Here, and Anxious People 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.

If you know anyone that is getting older.

This is a wonderful short story for anyone that is getting older or knows someone who is. The story is both happy and somewhat sad however the truth rings out. Love, life, loss and more love are life and they are all contained within. Smell the sunshine and the water.

Beautiful! Simply beautiful.

A story of love and remembering. Of joy and sadness. Of peace and of kindness. Beautiful explanation of the loss of Alzheimer's.

Magic and heartbreak

Sweetly Bittersweet memories between grandfather and grandchild; a few between father and son; some between husband and wife. Be prepared for some blurry eyes.
Morse does an ok job of narration, and is ok as grandpa; Noah not so much.

Fredrik Backman rocks!

You can never go wrong with Fredrik Backman.
This story is profound. Must read.
I'll read it to my grandchildren one day......

Must read! Extraordinary.

Short and beautiful novella.......so many life lessons touched on. A story that can easily be categorized as a "mandatory " read for growing up.

Beautiful

Anyone who has ever wondered about Alzheimer's or the relationship between a parent and an adult child should read this book. It is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

A Magnificent Little Novella

I swear this author can do no wrong. This bittersweet novella kept my eyes sufficiently wet for its short duration. This little story is packed full of wisdom and nostalgia. I highly recommend it to anyone.

One man's view

A bittersweet short story - journeying with one man's end of life and being open to his recollections of family and values.

Touching

Make sure to have your tissues near by. What a wonderful story about the relationship between a boy and his grandpa.

Be ready for tears

I’ve never been so happy that a book was so short. So many tears. I don’t think I could have handled a longer version.

So much love is presented in this novella. I will be listening again and again.
