The New York Times best-selling writer of A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, and Britt-Marie Was Here provides an exquisitely moving family portrait of an older man's battle to hold on to his most valuable recollections and his family's efforts to look after him - even as they must find a way to release. "Isn't that the best of all life's ages, a vintage man feels as he talks about his grandchild, when a boy is just big enough to know how the world works but still young enough to won't recognize it?" Grandpa and Noah are resting over a bench in a square that will keep getting smaller every day. The square is odd but also familiar, filled with the odds and ends that contain made-up their lives: Grandpa's work office, the stuffed dragon that Grandpa once provided to Noah, the sweet-smelling hyacinths that Grandma treasured to grow in her garden. As they hang on alongside one another on the bench, they tell jokes and discuss their distributed love of mathematics. Grandpa recalls what it was like to fall deeply in love with his wife, what it was like to lose her. She's as real to him now as the first day he achieved her, but he dreads your day when he won't keep in mind her. Sometimes Grandpa sits on the bench next to Ted, Noah's daddy - Ted who never liked math, prefers writing and participating in acoustic guitar, and has waited his entire life for his daddy to get time for him, to simply accept him. However in their love of Noah, they have found a typical bond. Grandpa, Grandma, Ted, and Noah all meet here, in this peculiar space that is growing dimmer plus more confusing all the time. And here is where they'll learn to say good-bye, the fragrance of hyacinths in the air, nothing to fear. This little e book with a huge message is certain to be treasured for generations to come.
