Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Emily is seven years old. Together with her mother she visits her grandpa every Friday. Her grandpa is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and he is not always coherent. Before he dies quite unexpectedly, he composes a number of letters addressed to his granddaughter Emily. Addressed to Emily, but not necessarily only meant for Emily.
This is a very nice and interesting story. Grandpa Harry obviously is no good expressing his true feelings or what is important to him with spoken words. This is also the reason he is somewhat estranged to his own kids. But once he is dead, through his letters for Emily, he finally finds a way to indirectly express his love, to talk about his struggles in life, to finally drop his mask. And it does some good, not only to Emily.
