A Man Called Ove
At first sight, Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He thinks himself surrounded by idiots – neighbours who can`t reverse a trailer properly, joggers, shop assistants who talk in code, and the perpetrators of the vicious coup d`etat that ousted him as Chairman of the Residents` Association. He will persist in making his daily inspection rounds of the local streets. But isn`t it rare, these days, to find such old-fashioned clarity of belief and deed? Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be, and a lifelong dedication to making it just so? In the end, you will see, there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible…The word-of-mouth bestseller causing a sensation across Europe, Fredrik Backman`s heartwarming debut is a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step – and less ready to judge on first impressions a man you might one day wish to have as your dearest friend.
