The Deal of a Lifetime

The Deal of a Lifetime by Fredrik Backman (2016) 65 pages

I read this short novelette three times, especially savoring it the second and third times. Backman knows how to pack so much into so few words and I didn't want to miss any of them. A wealthy middle-aged divorced man with a grown son has cancer, and he looks back at his life while considering the lives of his adult son and of a cancer patient who is a young girl. Drawings here and there make this work even more charming.
