A Man Called Ove: A Novel

A Man Called Ove: A Novel

Read the New York Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm!

In this â€œcharming debutâ€ (People) from one of Swedenâ€™s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

Meet Ove. Heâ€™s a curmudgeonâ€”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 â€œthe bitter neighbor from hell.â€ But must Ove be bitter just because he doesnâ€™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 Oveâ€™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 residentsâ€™ association to their very foundations.

A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrewâ€™s Last Stand, Fredrik Backmanâ€™s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. â€œIf there was an award for â€˜Most Charming Book of the Year,â€™ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands downâ€ (Booklist, starred review).
