Doris Alm is 96 years old and is writing about her life by recounting her relationships with the dead people in her address book. She doesn’t want her memories to die with her so she is writing them for Jenny, her grand-niece. Doris and Jenny video chat to keep in touch. One day Doris falls while trying to get something to eat on her own. Her hip fractures and she ends up in the hospital.

Jenny decides to go to Sweden to see her aunt before she dies. She asks her husband to try to find her aunt’s one true love if he is still alive because she thinks that her aunt needs to see him again before she dies.

This book had some very sad moments but also some beautiful ones about love and family. I enjoyed reading the book.
