A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

Product Details

About the Book

A Man Called Ove is Fredrik Backman's beloved, internationally bestselling novel about a grumpy, exacting fifty-nine-year-old widower who lives by rigid rules and has settled into a quiet, joyless existence — until his new neighbors accidentally destroy his mailbox, setting off a chain of events that upends everything. Ove is the kind of man who notices when people flout the rules of his street, who scowls at those who don't reverse-park correctly, and who has, in fact, been planning to end his life since losing his wife six months earlier. Behind the cranky exterior lies a man once known for his relentless fairness and stubborn integrity.

But when a boisterous young family moves in next door, led by the very pregnant Parvaneh, Ove's carefully guarded routine — and his plans for a quiet end — are interrupted again and again. As his neighbors keep needing his help, and he theirs, in ways neither can quite avoid, a heartwarming and unexpected friendship begins to take root. Told with humor and deep tenderness, the novel gradually reveals Ove's full story — his lost love, his shattered dreams, and the quiet tragedies that made him who he is — proving that even the most closed-off heart can be reopened by community, patience, and love.
