[close] The LCBC rated this book 3 out of 5 stars.

This book was recommended to the LCBC because of the popularity of A Man Called Ove. Book Club members were not as fond of this book as they were of A Man Called Ove. They found that they had a hard time keeping up with the fantasy world created by the grandmother and the granddaughter. There were many characters, "alter egos," and stories.

One of our Book Club members had traveled to Sweden, and she spoke about how "The Sagas" are ingrained into Swedish culture. This fantasy world may be more commonplace in Sweden.

Although, for people who love fantasy worlds, and stories that come together in the end, this is a great read.
