Frederik B's children aren't just children. And the adults aren't just adults. There are his children & adults and then there are the one dimensional children and adults who act as supporting players with a small job to perform in the story. There are plenty of them, but they're unimportant. Elena is the heroine. Our Friend, The Monster, Mom, and Grandma are important with a back story. But they are there for Elena.

Oh dear. I'm not quite loving this as much as Frederik Bakman's other books yet (A Man Called Ove, My Friends, or even Anxious People). Still, only in the 'introductory' phase. Plenty of time yet.
