The Solitary Cook

Frederik Backman is one of those writers who seizes you and won’t let go. It makes a difference to read his books in order, as there are recurring characters. So:

A Man Called Ove (which you’ve read)

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry

Britt Marie Was Here

Beartown

Us Against You

There are some other short “side books”, but the above are the very best. I am unable to say which was my favorite, though I fell in love with Britt Marie as a character, which I never ever expected. If you’re capable of not binge-reading, you’re a stronger person than I am.

Sending abundant good thoughts out to Mara.
