Title: A MAN
CALLED OVE
Author: Fredrik Backman
Genre: Fiction
Summary: from back cover of book: 'At first sight, Ove is almost certainly the
grumpiest man you will ever meet, a curmudgeon with staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People
think him bitter, and he thinks himself surrounded by idiots. Ove's well-ordered, solitary world gets a
shake-up one November morning with the appearance of new neighbors, a chatty
young couple, who announce their arrival by accidentally flattening Ove's
mailbox with their U-Haul. What follows
is a heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unlikely friendships, and a community's
unexpected reassessment of the one person they thought they had all figured
out.Author: Fredrik Backman

I've heard good things about this book and have it on my "To Read" list. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll let you know when I read it.
ReplyDeleteI listened to the audio of this book. I thought it added a lot to the characters because you could hear their personalities, attitudes etc. in the narrators voice. Saw the beginning of the movie first. Stopped - couldn't figure out what was going on. Best to read book first & then watch movie. Book was A LOT BETTER!
