"Ove, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.
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."
At one moment Ove is unsympathetic, then totally lovable, and back again. But mostly, he is grumpy, but lovable if you find the right way to approach him and persist in it, like some of his neighbors do.
We read this book with our library book club. When I saw it for sale at the library used bookstore this morning, I had do get it for my friend to read.
