Well, this novella did its job. I picked it up because I'm in a horrible reading slump. It's short (the audio is less than an hour long) and I was told that it's emotional. Backman made me cry. This is a heartbreaking story about an elderly man who is losing his memory. And Every Morning was my first Backman and now I need more; the writing was outstanding. Even though it was a short novella, this story will stick with me.
