One of the most moving novels I have read this year. I defy anyone to read this book and look at a quietly withdrawn person the same way ever again.

Fredrik Backman is the number one New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove (soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks), My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, Britt-Marie Was Here, Beartown, Us Against You, as well as two novellas, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer and The Deal of a Lifetime. His books are published in more than forty countries. He lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his wife and two children.

A charming, warmhearted novel from the author of the New York Times bestseller A Man Called Ove.
