孤僻奶奶留下的一堆道歉信，卻意外地為她的人生帶來不可置信的冒險與遲來的友誼
艾爾莎今年七歲，是個有點與眾不同的孩子，她的奶奶今年七十七歲，有點瘋狂—是那種會站在陽台朝著底下行人射漆彈的那種瘋狂。但奶奶是艾爾莎最好、也是唯一的朋友。每天晚上，艾爾莎都沈醉在奶奶的故事裡，故事裡每個人都不同，而且沒有人需要和別人一樣正常。
當奶奶去世時，艾爾莎發現她留下一堆道歉信，要向她曾無禮對待的那些人道歉。於是艾爾莎的偉大冒險開始了！
奶奶的指示，帶領艾爾莎到一棟充滿醉鬼、怪物、凶狠大狗以及老太婆的大樓。雖然這些信表面上看來是奶奶的道歉信，但實際上，這是奶奶為了讓孤獨的艾爾莎與大樓其他住戶建立友誼的一種方式。透過這些信，艾爾莎開始慢慢發現，原來那些以為是奶奶虛構故事裡的虛構人物，其實都是真的……。（文／博客來編譯）
Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy—as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsa’s best,
and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother’s stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be
normal.
When Elsa’s grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa’s greatest adventure begins. Her grandmother’s instructions lead her to an
apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones but also to the truth about fairy tales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backman’s bestselling debut novel, A Man Called Ove. It is a story about life
and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different.
