Description

Elsa tem sete anos de idade, quase oito, e é diferente. Para já, tem como melhor - e única - amiga a avó de setenta e sete anos de idade, que é doida: não levemente taralhoca, mas doida varrida a sério, capaz de se pôr à varanda a tentar atingir pessoas que querem falar sobre Jesus com uma arma de paintball, ou assaltar um jardim zoológico porque a neta está triste. Todas as noites, Elsa refugia-se nas histórias da Avozinha, cujo cenário é o reino de Miamas, na Terra-de-Quase-Acordar, um reino mágico onde o normal é ser diferente. Quando a Avozinha morre de repente e deixa uma série de cartas a pedir desculpa às pessoas que prejudicou, tem início a maior aventura de Elsa. As cartas levam-na a descobrir o que se esconde por detrás das vidas de cada um dos estranhíssimos moradores de um prédio muito especial, mas também à verdade sobre contos de fadas, reinos encantados e a forma como as escolhas do passado de uma mulher ímpar criam raízes no futuro dos que a conheceram. A minha avó pede desculpa é uma belíssima história, contada com o mesmo sentido de humor e a mesma emoção que o romance de estreia de Fredrik Backman, o bestseller internacional Um homem chamado Ove.
