A Man Called Ove

The Grumpiest Man. The Biggest Heart.

Ove is fifty-nine years old, and he has had enough. He is the kind of man who checks that everyone has closed the gate properly, who colour-codes his tools, and who has not smiled in a very long time. But when a young family moves in next door and chaos cheerfully descends on his carefully ordered world, Ove's armour begins, slowly and despite himself, to crack.

Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove is the global bestselling phenomenon that has sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into dozens of languages. Warm, funny, and quietly devastating, it is a story about community, grief, love, and what it means to be seen by the people around you. Once you start, you will not want to put it down — and when you finish, you will want to press it into someone else's hands immediately.
