And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer & Longer

This beautiful little book really is something to behold. It snatches those sharp poignant pieces of prose and strings them into sentences yearning to be told. Fredrik Backman teaches his readers that the essence of 'And every morning the way home gets longer and longer' is simply a reminder of the shortness of a life. He lets you know that the small novella you hold in your hands is actually a really big read. It involves that rare gift of insight, being taken inside a mind to apprehend the things and situations that can't always be seen, yet perhaps best known and shown through the thoughts of our young and the old.

"He always wants to know everything about school, but not like the other adults...... Grandpa wants to know if the school is behaving.'

Fredrik Backman does more than teach his readers about the end of life, he reminds us that it is from 'small things, that big things can and do grow'. Backman guides us in his love letter along a gentle journey of knowing how to say goodbye and how to let go.
