by Fredrik Backman, 2015, Narrated by Joan Walker, Simon and Schuster Audio

This is a story about a girl whose grandmother dies from cancer.  She was very close to her grandmother but didn’t know a lot about her grandmother’s early years.  She then finds that her grandmother has left apology notes with various individuals.

The author does a nice job with the characters and the dialogue in this novel, but the plot didn’t have enough substance to hold my interest. It’s a nice story, but a little boring.

The narrator is excellent but she sometimes dropped her voice so low that she was hard to understand.  When I turned the volume up to hear and she returned to her normal voice, I then had to turn it back down.  This situation was perhaps exacerbated because we listened to it in a car travelling 75 miles per hour.
