Publisher's Summary

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman | Conversation Starters 

Elsa is a special needs child who is unable to make friends at school, and because of her parents' divorce she is even further affected. However, she does get along great with her grandmother. When her grandmother dies, Elsa is devastated. Granny gave her the task of delivering letters, after Granny's death, to different people whose pasts she wants Elsa to understand. Woven in the plot of My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry are the fairy tales that Granny told Elsa over the years. It is up to Elsa to connect the dots and understand which fantasy characters from the "Land of Almost Awake" are represented by whom in real life.
