Notes from my copy: Delightful and different. Listened via audio, to better hear the pronunciations of the names. Ove is a loner curmudgeon, determined to do away with himself after his wife dies. But he keeps getting thwarted by the neighbors, who arrive at inopportune times, backing over his mailbox when the sign clearly says no driving by the houses, falling off the borrowed ladder, and then leaving Ove to drive the pregnant wife and kids to the hospital, and leaving him in charge of the stray, abandoned cat. Lovely how the neighbors got under his skin, without him really even knowing it, just like his late wife did.
