Such a nice, even if a little melancholic book. I loved Grandmother and everything she had to teach us. If I'm counting correctly, I have saved 17 quotes from the book and I almost never do that. My favorite one is probably this: Grandmother tried to recall her own rebellious periods in order to try and understand, but all she could remember was an unusually well-behaved little girl. Wise as she was, she realized that people can postpone their rebellious phases until they’re eighty-five years old, and she decided to keep an eye on herself.

I wonder how much of the book was autobiographic.
