A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman
Description
Ove is the grumpiest, curmudgeon man you might ever encounter. Being a man of routine and rules, his day begins with checking to see which neighbors are violating the parking and storage shed policies. Then you learn quickly that Ove is trying to kill himself, and it would happen if not for the “idiots” needing his assistance, he would have been successful. When new neighbors move in, first running over his mailbox, his world is turned upside down. As Ove’s story unfolds, you learn of his many layers and the small, sweet person living within. “A Man Called Ove” will have you laughing, cringing, crying and not wanting to put the book down. It is safe to say that it gives you ALL the feels. Check out the book before you check out the movie!
