A Man Called Ove: A Novel
Description
Now a major motion picture A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks! 1 New York
Times bestseller—more than 3 million copies sold! Meet Ove. He’s a
curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were
burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict
routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.”
But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile
plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a
story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with
two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s
mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats,
unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of
which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to
their very foundations. Fredrik Backman’s beloved first novel about the angry
old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life
has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the
Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would
win hands down” (Booklist, starred review). Read more
