#1 new york times bestseller—more than 3 million copies sold!
Meet ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
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.
Fredrik backman’s beloved first novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others.
