Publisher's Summary
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Within the pages of 96-year-old Doris’s red address book are the names of all those she has loved and lost, telling the story of a colourful life. Living alone in Stockholm, she is comforted by the weekly calls of her grand-niece Jenny, who is haunted by a painful childhood.
Finally, Doris decides to put pen to paper, using her address book to recall the memories of a life well-lived – from 1930s Paris runways to narrow New York escapes during World War Two – and what she and Jenny discover may well change their lives forever…
Critic Reviews
"Written with love, told with joy. Very easy to enjoy." (Fredrik Backman, New York Times best-selling author of A Man Called Ove)
"With an ingenious hook and a glorious heroine, this book is a delicate balance of heartwarming and heartbreaking and a timely reminder to hold on to those you love in case they get away. Enchanting." (Veronica Henry)
"Doris’s life story is magnetic, and it’s her strong personality and pearls of wisdom...that drive the book... Fans of Fredrik Backman will find much to like here." (Publishers Weekly)
