A Man Called Ove: A Novel

Read the New York Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm! 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. A feel-good story
in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, Fredrik Backman's 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).
