“And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer and Longer: A Novella”

And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer and Longer: A Novella by Fredrik Backman           Audio Book:  1 hour  Hardback Book:  96 pages        

What a great novella.   Though short, this story speaks volumes.    So much emotion here, honestly at times it brings tears to your eyes, but, it is also so full of love and fun memories and joy that it creates the perfect balance on a theme that is melancholy but leaves you feeling enriched for sharing the verbal experience.    Lovely.    If you liked the book and/or film, “Tuesdays with Morrie” or the banter between Grandpa and Grandson in, “The Princess Bride,” you will thoroughly enjoy this book.    If there is a smooth wave carrying us from this life to the next,  this book is that gentle wave.   I truly enjoyed this story of transition that leaves you not sad but satisfied.    My compliments to Fredrik Backman.
