It has been a long time since I truly fell in love with a character in a book like I did this one. A cranky old curmudgeon, who at times reminded me of both my father and father-in-law, who I disliked at first and by the end of the novel I hated to leave him! A warm and inspiring story of the need for human contact, the need for love and the need to be needed. Trust me, you will be pulled into Ove's life, his grief, his need to be left alone and his neighborhood of unique saviors.

A story about what loss does to those left behind and how the smallest kindness or even smallest action can change their planned direction. Curmudgeon. The only word that can be used to describe Ove. As difficult as it was to see past that at times you felt the utter loss he was dealing with and how a series of events and colorful people he encounters gives him more time to see past just the loss he endured.
