She's one of my favourite narrators I've ever heard and I'm heading to buy another one of the books she's read right this instant, as I think it'll be slightly longer until the next Backman book.Welcome to our monthly blog feature, Book Clubbin’! With school and work routines slowly kicking back into action, many people are trying to find ways to keep entertained.

It was purely based on the sample of Marin Ireland's perfect voice. This is the first book of his I chose to listen to instead of reading and I'm absolutely thrilled. So yeah, it was beautiful and I cried a lot, like I have at all his books, starting with Ove (where I probably cried the most). The day after I finish one of his books, I always feel a bit more in touch with my love for humanity and other people, and always a little melancholy. The thing he does doesn't change much from book to book, but he does it incredibly well and I always find myself incredibly grateful when I find he's written something new.

One other reviewer picked two of the best but these are also note worthy “They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. Great book as described in the summary, full of some excellent quotes. The narrator had great intonation, however the accent really spoilt it for me. I will say my negative first… Why use an American narrator when the book is written by a Swede and set in Sweden.
