Senility

     And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer And Longer And Longer by Fredrik Backman

 Actually the "Way Home" is very short. This novella is a sweet story of a Grandpa who is going senile.  In his mind he is talking to his grandson, sometimes it is his son.  It begins with Grandpa and grandson talking about Grandma.  There's quite a bit about Grandma.  The nicest images are with Grandma.  She usually calls Grandpa to his senses.

       The location images are all in Grandpa's mind: a boat, a tent, a town square.  It can be confusing.  The characterization of course is delightful, as the reader would expect from Fredrik Backman.  But it is so different from his other novels, that I recommend people to read it.  It can be read in one sitting.  So why not?
