Description: This is a moving, humorous and uplifting story about love, friendship, courage, and the ability to notice and live life even when there seems to be too little time. Oscar is a ten-year-old boy who understands what the adults around him do not even dare to talk about—he does not have many days of life left. He wins the trust of Rosemamma, an extraordinary elderly woman who, unlike the others, is not afraid to talk to Oscar about either life or death. Together with her, Oscar lives through an entire human life in twelve days—from childhood to old age. And every evening he writes about it all to God. A God in whom he does not really believe at first. This is a story about the time given to us, filled with affirmation of life and bright hope...
