And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer by Fredrik Backman is a novella that depicts with grace and sensitivity the loss of a human mind to dementia. The book manages in its simplicity to completely involve me in the story. I can picture the characters and the square. I can feel the anguish and still find a smile, both brought about by the love captured in this book. This is a book to be experienced and then remembered for a very long time.

A very heartwarming and sentimental read about love and growing old. It battles the effects of slowing losing your mind and how difficult it is for the person experiencing it and to their loved ones. It was a short read but very sweet nonetheless.

A short sentimental tale of a grandfather who is losing his memories as he tries to hold on to what matters most. He spends his time reminiscing about his life and the roads taken with those he loves. Sweet and enjoyable, as all Backman's writing is.
