The First Tuesday Book Club will be reading "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" on Tue 2/6 at 6:30.
Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is
seventy-seven years old and crazy—as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers
crazy. She is also Elsa’s best and only friend. When Elsa’s grandmother dies
and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged,
Elsa’s greatest adventure begins.
“My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry” is told
with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backman’s bestselling
debut novel, A Man Called Ove. It is a story about life, death, and one of the
most important human rights: the right to be different.
