Doris is a lonely 96-year old woman whom, before she dies wants to share her life’s experiences with her grandniece Jenny before she dies. Doris lives in Stockholm and Jenn lives in the US. Their only contact is through a weekly Skype session. When Doris falls down and ends up in the hospital, Jenny leaves her husband and sons to be by the side of her only living relative. Here she finds the pages Doris has written for her.

Doris goes through her address book which helps her remember those from her past, most of which have already passed on. But before she passes on herself she needs to share her secrets.

This is both a pleasant and sad story. I enjoyed the narratives from Doris’ past. They were descriptive and heart-warming (and heart-breaking). Overall, a good story but a somewhat predictable ending. I still liked it and did shed a tear or two.
