A Man Called Ove -- Fredrik Backman

<b>Now a major motion picture <i>A Man Called Otto</i> starring Tom Hanks!</b> <p/><b>#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller--more than 3 million copies sold! </b> <p/>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? <p/>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. <p/>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. "If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year, ' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down" (<i>Booklist</i>, starred review).<br><br><b>Author:</b> Fredrik Backman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Washington Square Press<br><b>Published:</b> 11/29/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</
