Beschreibung

The tender and moving novella from the author of A Man Called Ove and Anxious People'I read this beautifully imagined and moving novella in one sitting, utterly wowed, wanting to share it with everyone I know' Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice _________ Grandpa and Noah are sitting on a bench in a square that keeps getting smaller every day. As they wait together on the bench, they tell jokes and discuss their shared love of mathematics. Grandpa recalls what it was like to fall in love with his wife, what it was like to lose her. She's as real to him now as the first day he met her, but he dreads the day when he won't remember her. Sometimes Grandpa sits on the bench next to Ted, Noah's father - Ted who never liked maths, prefers writing and playing guitar, and has waited his entire life for his father to have time for him, to accept him. But in their love of Noah, they have found a common bond. Grandpa, Ted and Noah all meet here, in this peculiar space that is growing dimmer and more confusing all the time. And here is where they will learn to say goodbye, the scent of hyacinths in the air, nothing to fear. _________'Winsome, bittersweet . . . Wise and heartbreaking, Backman's slim novella celebrates the joy of connecting even in the midst of letting go' People Magazine

A cute story for in-between but couldn't really get into it or fully understand what was happening since it was so short

Kurz aber herzzereisend

"It’s an awful thing to miss someone who’s still here.“ Das Buch hat mich zerstört aber hab leider gar nicht richtig geweint :') hatte erwartet, dass ich sehr weinen werde aber dafür das es kurz war ist es richtig schön geschrieben. Der Opa und seine Erinnerungen, was er alles bereut, es war so interessant und schön. Auf jeden Fall lese Wert <3

Zu dem Buch fällt mir nur ein Wort ein: wunderschön. Wenn man selbst bei dem Vorwort des Autors schon Tränen in die Augen bekommt… Das Buch hat nur um die 70 Seiten und man kann nicht anders als es in einem durchzulesen. Die Geschichte von Noah und seinem Opa ist so herzergreifend und wunderschön geschrieben. Auch ein tolles Buch zum verschenken.

4.5⭐️ this was so beautiful.

This was heartwarming and shattering at the same time. As a person who works with people who have dementia, this is so beautiful to me. I am kind of speechless.

Just completely and utterly love this. Fredrik Backman is a genius!

4.75⭐️ It’s been a long time since a book made me sob this hard—which is why I love it so much. This novella put me through all the sad emotions with sprinkles of heartfelt moments and it was just everything I wanted from this novella when i read it. I‘m in desperate need for words to describe my love for the beautiful reading experience I had with this, because I’m just speechless—and in love with this novella. Now I need to read everything Frederick Backman has ever written! If you want a short read that’ll make you feel something then please consider “And every morning the way home gets longer and longer” because it is a story about love, loss, family and missing someone who is still there. I will never stop thinking about this story.
