内容简介

A charming, warmhearted novel from the author of the New York Times bestseller A Man Called Ove.

Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy—as in standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is also Elsa’s best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her grandmother’s stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal.

When Elsa’s grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa’s greatest adventure begins. Her grandmother’s instructions lead her to an apartment building full of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones but also to the truth about fairy tales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backman’s bestselling debut novel, A Man Called Ove. It is a story about life and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different.

媒体推荐

"Bring tissues when you start My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, but bring your funnybone, too. It’s that kind of book – one that, if you miss it, you’ll never forgive yourself."

(Business Insider, Best Books of 2015)

“Fredrik Backman has a knack for weaving tales that are believable and fanciful. Backman’s smooth storytelling infuses his characters with charm and wit… a delightful story.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

“Every bit as churlish but lovable as Backman’s cantankerous protagonist in his debut, A Man Called Ove (2014), precocious Elsa will easily work her way into the hearts of readers who like characters with spunk to spare. A delectable homage to the power of stories to comfort and heal, Backman’s tender tale of the touching relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter is a tribute to the everlasting bonds of deep family ties.” (Booklist (starred))

“Full of heart, hope, forgiveness, and the embracing of differences, Elsa’s story is one that sticks with you long after you’ve turned the last page.” (Library Journal)

“Firmly in league with Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman. A touching, sometimes funny, often wise portrait of grief.”

(Kirkus Reviews)

"In his second offering, Backman (A Man Called Ove) continues to write with the same whimsical charm and warm heart as in his debut." (Publishers Weekly)

“What I admire in Backman’s stories is his honesty and perspective about grief and losing those we love the most. I would recommend this book to Neil Gaiman fans, as the storytelling is fantastic and heartwarming.” (Sun-Gazette)

“I can't remember the last time that I read a book where I alternately cried and laughed, and sometimes both at the same time.” (Marilyn Dahl, Shelf Awareness)

Praise for A MAN CALLED OVE:

“A charming debut…You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll feel new sympathy for the curmudgeons in your life. You’ll also want to move to Scandinavia, where everything’s cuter.” (People)

"An inspiring affirmation of love for life and acceptance of people for their essence and individual quirks. A Man Called Ove is a perfect selection for book clubs. It's well written and replete with universal concerns. It lacks violence and profanity, is life-affirming and relationship-driven. The book is bittersweet, tender, often wickedly humorous and almost certain to elicit tears. I contentedly wept my way through a box of tissues when I first read the novel and again when I savored it for a second time.” (BookBrowse.com)

"A Man Called Ove is exquisite. The lyrical language is the confetti thrown liberally throughout this celebration-of-life story, adding sparkle and color to an already spectacular party. Backman's characters feel so authentic that readers will likely find analogues living in their own neighborhoods." (Shelf Awareness (starred review))

"Readers seeking feel-good tales with a message will rave about the rantings of this solitary old man with a singular outlook. If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year,' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down." (Booklist, Starred Review)

“A funny crowd-pleaser that serves up laughs to accompany a thoughtful reflection on loss and love… The author writes with winning charm.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“This charming debut novel by Backman should find a ready audience with English-language readers… hysterically funny… wry descriptions, excellent pacing… In the contest of Most Winning Combination, it would be hard to beat grumpy Ove and his hidden,generous heart.” (Kirkus Reviews)

"There are characters who amuse us, and stories that touch us. But this character and his story do even more: A Man Called Ove makes us think about who we are and how we want to live our lives. A Man Called Ove seems deceptively simple at the start, yet Frederik Backman packs a lifetime's worth of hilarity and heartbreak into this novel. Even the most crusty curmudgeon will love Ove!" (Lois Leveen, author of Juliet's Nurse and The Secrets of Mary Bowser)

“One of the most moving novels I have read this year. I defy anyone to read this book and look at a quiet withdrawn person the same way ever again.” (Cayacosta Reviews)

好的，这是一份关于另一本图书的详细简介，旨在避免提及您提到的《外婆的道歉信》的任何内容，并力求自然流畅，不带任何人工智能生成的痕迹。 --- 《迷雾之城的回响：亚瑟·彭德尔顿的最后一次航行》 作者：[虚构作者名，例如：伊丽莎白·哈特利] 类型：历史悬疑/哥特式小说 卷首语 “有些秘密，被海洋深处的寒冷锁住，而有些记忆，则在浓雾散去后，比任何幽灵都更加清晰。” 内容简介 一艘失踪的船，一个被遗忘的誓言，以及一座吞噬一切的城市。 故事发生在一八八八年，一个维多利亚时代的阴影笼罩着伦敦的煤灰与迷雾之中。亚瑟·彭德尔顿，一位声名显赫的海洋探险家，却在一次本应载誉归来的航行后，如同人间蒸发一般，消失在了北大西洋的某处。他的失踪成了一桩悬案，被公众迅速淡忘，只留下了一个破碎的家庭和一栋位于泰晤士河南岸、终年被浓雾环绕的宏伟宅邸——“黑礁庄园”。 时间快进至二十年后。亚瑟的孙子，年轻的律师兼业余历史学家，伊莱亚斯·彭德尔顿，继承了这栋阴森的遗产。伊莱亚斯一直相信他的祖父并非死于海难，而是被某种更黑暗、更具目的性的力量所驱使。在清理祖父遗物时，他发现了一本用密码写成的航海日志，以及一幅绘制着一座从未出现在任何官方地图上的岛屿——“寂静之岸”的模糊素描。 这本日志揭示了一个令人不安的秘密：亚瑟的最后一次航行，并非为了寻找新的贸易路线，而是为了追寻一个古老的、被教会严密把控的传说——关于一座沉睡在北极冰盖下的“迷雾之城”以及其中蕴藏的“时间之锚”。 伊莱亚斯被这桩家族的谜团深深吸引，他辞去了体面的律师工作，变卖了大部分财产，只保留了能支撑他远航的资金。他的目标不再是继承财富，而是重现祖父的最后旅程，解开那萦绕在家族上空二十年的迷雾。 旅程的开始：伦敦的暗流 伊莱亚斯很快发现，他并非唯一对“寂静之岸”感兴趣的人。一个由神秘的“守夜人兄弟会”组成的地下组织，似乎一直在监视着彭德尔顿家族。他们相信，亚瑟的发现威胁到了他们维护世界秩序（或者说，是维护他们所控制的秘密）的基石。 为了获取必要的资源和信息，伊莱亚斯不得不深入伦敦的阴影角落。他拜访了年迈的、曾经的船员——如今沦为码头酒馆老板的“独眼”比利，此人似乎对那次灾难性航行知晓内情，却被恐惧所束缚。他还需要与一位古怪的、研究古代航海图的女性天文学家，塞拉菲娜·沃恩合作。塞拉菲娜坚信，那座岛屿的地理位置会随着某种罕见的星象周期而显现。 随着调查的深入，历史的真相开始扭曲。伊莱亚斯挖掘出的证据表明，亚瑟的航行触及了十九世纪科学界最深层的禁忌——关于非欧几里得几何学在实际应用中的可能性，以及时间本身是否可以被“锚定”和“控制”的理论。每一次发现都伴随着一次险象环生的遭遇：被盗的地图、焚毁的信件、以及在雾夜中对“黑礁庄园”发起的数次无声的入侵。 冰封的真理：寂静之岸 在塞拉菲娜的帮助下，伊莱亚斯利用一艘老旧但坚固的捕鲸船，踏上了北方的航程。穿越无尽的冰川和风暴，他们终于抵达了日夜颠倒的北极圈边缘。 “寂静之岸”正如日志中所描述的那样，是一片被永恒的极光照耀着的土地。然而，这里的景象超出了伊莱亚斯的想象。城市并非由石头建成，而是由一种无法辨认的、类似黑曜石的物质构成，其建筑结构完全违反了已知的物理定律。空气中弥漫着一种令人心悸的寂静，时间在这里似乎流逝得异常缓慢。 在城市的中心，伊莱亚斯找到了他祖父的船只残骸——“海妖之歌”号，它如同被一只巨手捏扁，嵌在一座巨大的、闪烁着微光的几何形结构之中。 最终，伊莱亚斯找到了亚瑟·彭德尔顿。然而，他所面对的祖父，已经不再是一个普通的人类。亚瑟被困在了一种半清醒的状态，成为了“时间之锚”的看守者，他的意识被分散在城市无尽的回廊之中。亚瑟用他残存的理智，向伊莱亚斯揭示了真相：那座城市并非人类文明的遗迹，而是一个古老力量的“泄洪口”，亚瑟的誓言是阻止它彻底觉醒，防止时间洪流冲垮现实的堤坝。 最终的选择 伊莱亚斯必须在两个可怕的选项中做出抉择：是强行“解放”他的祖父，这将可能导致“迷雾之城”的力量释放，淹没现代世界；还是遵从亚瑟的遗愿，永远守护这个秘密，并将自己也融入到那座冰封的城市之中，成为下一代的守望者。 《迷雾之城的回响》是一部对探索精神、家族责任以及科学与禁忌知识之间危险平衡的深刻探讨。它将洛夫克拉夫特的宇宙恐惧感与狄更斯式的时代氛围完美融合，带领读者踏上一段穿越迷雾、跨越理性边界的，充满哥特式浪漫和令人不安的真理的旅程。 本书探讨的主题： 维多利亚时代末期的科学迷信与理性主义的冲突。 家族责任与个人命运的抉择。 被时间遗忘的文明的痕迹。 被恐惧所扭曲的真相。

我必须承认，我原本对这类以“温情”为旗号的作品抱持着一丝警惕，总担心会落入俗套，充满了廉价的煽情和刻意的巧合。然而，这部作品完全打破了我的固有印象。它的叙事结构精巧得像一座复杂的迷宫，看似松散的片段，却在不知不觉中编织成一张严密的网，直到最后才揭示出那些隐藏的线索和深远的用意。作者的叙事节奏掌控得炉火纯青，时而急促，时而舒缓，精确地拿捏着读者的情绪波动。更令人称道的是，它探讨的议题极其宏大——关于时间和记忆的本质，关于爱与失去的永恒主题——但处理起来却轻盈而富有智慧，绝无说教的意味。读完后，我感觉像经历了一场精心策划的智力游戏，满足感油然而生，因为它不仅温暖了心灵，更挑战了我的思维习惯。

这部小说的语言风格，简直就像是为成年人量身定做的童话，充满了魔幻现实主义的色彩，但根基却是无比扎实的日常生活体验。我尤其欣赏作者如何将那些沉重的生活负担，用一种近乎超现实的幽默感去包裹和呈现。那些对话，简直可以单独摘录出来作为语录集，它们尖锐、精准，充满了黑色幽默，常常能让我哈哈大笑，随即又被其背后的深刻洞察力所震撼。这种在极度悲观和极度乐观之间自由切换的能力，使得作品的张力十足。它没有回避生活中的残酷，但它选择了一种更积极的方式去面对——那就是用人类特有的、略带荒谬的坚韧去抵抗。对于那些在现实中感到疲惫不堪的人来说，这本书无疑是一剂强心针，它提醒我们，即使在最黯淡的日子里，也总有那么一丝光亮值得我们去追逐和铭记。

这本书带给我的最深刻印象，是它对“和解”这一主题的探讨达到了一个新的高度。它并非简单地讲述放下过去或原谅他人，而是深入挖掘了“理解”的艰难过程——理解那些我们深爱却又最让我们失望的人，以及最重要的，理解我们自己那些不完美的动机。作者没有给我们一个轻易的答案，而是将所有可能性敞开，让读者自行去感受。这种开放式的结局处理，与其说是作者的逃避，不如说是对读者智识的尊重。它鼓励我们带着书中人物的影子，去审视自己的生活轨迹，去思考那些未曾说出口的歉意和未曾完成的和解。我走出这本书时，感觉自己比阅读前更加宽容和清醒，这是一种罕见且宝贵的阅读体验，它超越了单纯的娱乐范畴，更像是一次精神上的洗礼，让人心生敬畏。

这本书的文字似乎有一种难以言喻的魔力，它不只是简单地讲述了一个故事，更像是一面镜子，映照出我们内心深处那些最柔软、最隐秘的情感。初读时，我被那种细腻入微的笔触所吸引，作者仿佛能洞察人心，将那些我们羞于启齿的遗憾和渴望，用一种近乎诗意的语言娓娓道来。每一个角色的选择和挣扎，都充满了人性的复杂与真实，让人在阅读的过程中忍不住停下来，反复咀嚼那些充满哲理却又平易近近的句子。它成功地营造了一种沉浸式的体验，你不再是旁观者，而是随着故事的起伏而呼吸，为那些微小的胜利而欣喜，为那些必然的失落而叹息。这种情感上的共振，是真正优秀的作品才具备的特质，它让你在合上书本后，依然能感受到文字的余温在指尖流淌，久久不散，仿佛完成了一次深刻的自我对话。

从文学技巧的角度来看，这本书的视角转换极其高明。它不拘泥于单一主体的叙述，而是通过多重声音的交织，构建了一个立体而饱满的世界观。每一个声音，无论是主角还是次要人物，都有其独特的“声纹”和不可替代的视角，这使得故事的层次感远超一般的家庭伦理剧。我尤其注意到作者在处理时间跨度时的手法，过去与现在交织，记忆的碎片如同散落的拼图，需要读者主动去拼凑，这极大地增强了阅读的主动性和参与感。这种非线性的叙事，非但没有造成理解上的障碍，反而模拟了我们人类记忆本身的运作方式——零散、跳跃，但最终会形成一个意义完整的整体。它需要的不仅仅是一目十行的阅读，更是一种细心体察和结构分析的能力，绝对值得细细品味。
