My granny asked me to tell you she’s sorry. I read, “a man called Ove” enjoyed it so very much that I had to read “Britt Marie” and that I enjoyed but not as much as “Ove” and then of course I had to read “my grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry” which I am still reading...but it is one of the best books (Awesome)I’ve ever read and i have shed tear after tears because at 65 yrs of age I wish I still had my granny she left me way to soon. Thank you Elsa for bringing my granny back into my life in a crazy sort of way. I’m sure I’ll read all three of these books again sometime in the near future...thank your Mr Beckman

Loved it. A very pleasant book. It took a little time to get into it But worth the wait.

Grandma inspired. Great characters and a great character study.

Enchanting book. Until I finally had time to sit and read a good chunk of this book at once, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Now that I’ve finished, and cried a bit, I really liked it! This is definitely a book to read as much at a time as possible. In the beginning I was a bit confused. I was only reading a little at a time, and that kept me confused with the storyline. There are 2 stories, but it all comes together to be one lovely story in the end!

Heartfelt punch to the gut. This book is one of my absolute favorites. Truly so amazing 100/10 would recommend

My grandmother asked me to tell you shes sorry. Biggest bunch of crap i ever tried to read. I should have known not to buy it. I tried to get into another book by the same author and never could get interested. I wasted $11.99 on this bs. The only reason i bought it was i liked the grandma in the sample i read. She dies to soon in the book. It could have been interesting if it had been about her. And it might have gotten interesting eventually because surely the author had to bring the story in a circle someway for the reader to understand the grandmas influence but i cannot force myself to waste any more time wading thru any more of this dribble to find out. Im horribly sorry i couldnt give it ZERO stars.

My grandmother said to tell you she was sorry. Confusing book hard to understand

Pretty good. Not Blackman’s best, but intriguing nonetheless.

Awesome read. It was amazing how everything came together. the end had me bawling can wait to read the Britt-Marie book

Possibly the best book ever. I am far too old to cry over fictional characters. Or possibly not, because I did.

My Gramdmother Asked Me To Tell You See's Sorry. Wow! Just...Wow!

Its a captivating read!. I honestly dont know where to start. While i had an issue with pacing in the beginning it was never not emotional or beautiful. Backmans writing is beautiful in that natural speaking way. His writing makes you feel included in the story not just an observer. But also this was much much more than I was expecting. Its full of imagination, sorrow, laughter, loss, love, forgiveness, friendship and acceptance of feelings, differences in personality and just everything. How one person can affect so many lives and how so many lives can be tangled with each other. Its possible i have never felt so emotional when reading a novel. It was so easy to relate to elsa for many reasons. It was beautiful. *i received this book for free through booktube tours in exchange for an honest review*

Read it!. Best book I have read in a very long time.

I love this book so much/New favorite. I love this book so much. Truly became one of my favorite books ever. Definitely one of my favorite books this year.

A Zany Wonderful Read. Oh my goodness how I loved this book. I think that everyone should have a touch of Granny in them and that every child needs someone like Granny throughout their childhood. I have to qualify though that as much as I would love to know granny, I would not want her for a relative, unless I was seven (almost eight). The story centers upon two important characters with an eclectic ensemble cast. Our first character of primary importance is Elsa who is struggling to overcome her perceived differences from other children along with nightmares and a full bucket of fears. Granny is our second character of note. Granny is like no other Granny. Honestly, she is a kick…when you are reading about her. Again, tough for grownups to have as a relative! Granny is gifted with an unbounding imagination with which she cleverly helps Elsa accept herself and her life as it was given to her. Elsa is taken on a journey like none other where she learns that even if she is a little bit different that there is an incredible value in just being herself. I love this quote that comes from Elsa’s narrative: "Elsa also loves treasure hunts, but not as much as Granny. No one in any kingdom in the eternity of ten thousand fairy tales could love them like she does. She can make anything into a treasure hunt: if they’ve been out shopping and Granny can’t remember where she parked Renault; or when she wants Elsa to go through her mail and pay her bills because Granny finds this insanely boring; or when there’s a sports day at school and Elsa knows the older children are going to lash her in the shower with rolled-up towels. Granny can make a parking area into magic mountains, and rolled-up towels into dragons that must be outsmarted. And Elsa is always the heroine." One adventure was traded for another upon Elsa’s birth. Granny had kind of stunk as a parent to Elsa’s mom as she was primarily traveling the world round on medical aid missions. Elsa is her opportunity to make up for some lost family time. Not surprisingly, with Granny’s uhhhhhmmm “adventurous spirit”, in close quarters she tends to get on absolutely everyone’s last nerve. Fortunately though, Elsa knows "that all of the things that Granny did were for [her] sake". People that live life full on are known to step on toes occasionally, in actuality everyone can, but crazy grannies do it more; hence the need for her to say that she’s sorry. As Granny is coming close to death she creates a treasure hunt for Elsa. Don’t forget that Granny loves treasure hunts! The tasks that Elsa is given help her to understand Granny and the people who live around her in a better way while simultaneously offering closure for those from whom Granny seeks forgiveness. It brings a whole group of people together who had lived separate lives within close proximity. Each one of them shared a common tie to Granny but were not much more than neighbors in the same building. Through this adventure community is born. Through this adventure a child is healed. Don’t miss this read. It will fill you with laughter, it will have you shaking your head, it will make you wonder how much crazier the story can get, and it will make you shed a tear or two. I was given this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. My many thanks to the author and publisher for this privilege.

Loved this book!. This is a most enchanting story. Granny is every grand child's dream grandparent. The story comes together just as Granny's fairy tales rivet the reader. I highly recommend this book.

A sweet story. I bought this book after reading (and falling in love with!) A Man Called Ove. While this book took me a while to get into, I still loved the characters and the unique way the story was told. I didn't really care for the fairy tales in the book; I found them hard to follow and sometimes boring - I understand how they tied the story together, I just didn't care for that side of it. Overall, a good, thought-provoking book.

Must read. Incredible book. Read this after an old man named ove. Have to say - I love this book even more! Made me laugh made me cry. Takes you on a wonderful journey. Now I'm sad that I finished it.

Amazed. I am still reading this book and it is definitely one of my most favorite books that I have read. I cannot wait to read "A Man Called Ove" after this book. I have heard such good things about it.

Forgettable. After reading A Man called Ove, this was very disappointing. Was hoping for another page turner. Too much fantasy. Too much detail. Boringly so, skipped a lot of pages. It had a good plot, but it got too imaginary for me.

Not what I was expecting. Good read, sort of fantasy mixed w real life. Not my favorite of his writings.

Best. This book is amazing. Please read it.
