About this product

Product Information

A must-read for fans of Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, by the author of the New York Times bestselling phenomenon A Man Called Ove will charm and delight anyone who has ever had a grandmother. Everyone remembers the smell of their grandmother's house. Everyone remembers the stories their grandmother told them. But does everyone remember their grandmother flirting with policemen? Driving illegally? Breaking into a zoo in the middle of the night? Firing a paintball gun from a balcony in her dressing gown? Seven-year-old Elsa does. Some might call Elsa's granny 'eccentric', or even 'crazy'. Elsa calls her a superhero. And granny's stories, of knights and princesses and dragons and castles, are her superpower. Because, as Elsa is starting to learn, heroes and villains don't always exist in imaginary kingdoms; they could live just down the hallway. As Christmas draws near, even the best superhero grandmothers may have one or two things they'd like to apologise for. And, in the process, Elsa can have some breath-taking adventures of her own . . .

  • Extraordinary

    Don’t give up reading this book. It’s odd but well worth reading & very poignant. Another book by the same author is equally good.

  • A lovely book

    I couldn't put it down. It made me smile and cry. Elsa is a delight and there are life lessons aplenty. I will read it again.

  • Silly

    Could not get into it. Seemed a bit silly. Thought there might be some believable characters in it, but no. Gave up as I didn’t think it worthwhile to carry on trying to enjoy it. Not my kind of book even though the reviews I’d read made me think it was.

  • Life Affirming

    Fredrick Backman writes some of the most compelling novels and novellas I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. Tears and laughter in equal amounts, he writes in a beautifully flowing style that never fails to leave me totally satisfied. Read ‘My Grandmother…’ before ‘Britt Marie…’
