Description
Even goodbyes hurt less when you're not alone. Little Noah sits on a bench with his grandfather, and they talk. Hyacinths grow beneath the bench, the same ones his grandfather once cultivated for his grandmother. Grandpa and Noah can talk about anything. About all the questions related to life and the universe, serious and trivial. During conversations with his grandson, Grandpa always remembers how he fell in love with Grandma and how he lost her in old age. He still sees her before him and dreads the day when he will no longer be able to recall her. He feels that his world is changing. That’s why he would like to stay with Noah on the bench, where he is still surrounded by the penetrating scent of hyacinths. But capturing memories is becoming increasingly difficult, and both must learn the hardest lesson of all: the art of saying goodbye. Fredrik Backman, in this atypical novella, depicts the struggle of an aging man to preserve his dearest memories. He does so tenderly and empathetically, as only he can.
