How can you not appreciate the jumbled and convoluted mind that is Fredrik Backman? His way of looking at the world through his eyes, his wife’s eyes, and that of his child, will make you laugh and reflect on your own years of parenting and nodding in agreement at all the ridiculous good intentions that you had.
Child rearing is universal and Swedish author Fredrik Backman hits childrearing squarely on the head. With his witty and touching essays, there is no subject that he does not tackle, and in doing so, answers life’s questions and possibly causes his son years of therapy.
At times you are going to laugh out loud and others you may have a tear, but it is all good. No one prepares you for this path in life, but once you can make it through the hard years, ok, all the years are hard, and can look back, you realize that the most stressful times also contained the best stories.
So, curl up, read, reflect, read again, share the best parts with your friends, then swear that you will buy this book for the next baby shower that you are invited to since dad’s need a gift too.
