A man Called Ove

 



The first sight, Ove was the grumpiest man that you ever knew.  His viewpoint and his principles are curmudgeons with staunch. He had this strict routine and the shortest fuse.  People thought he was the most bitter man on the face of this earth.

On a fall day in November, his would-be upside down.  When a  boisterous family moved next door to him.  As they meet ove is the kind of man that points to people that he doesn't like.  Even the burglars caught outside of his bedroom window. 

He has his principles yes he does. Many people thought he was the worst neighbor in history. Ove is bitter he doesn't walk around with a smile on his face every second of his day.

Besides all the crankiness, in the story, there is a lot of sadness.  So on the morning in November when a young family with their 4 daughters moved next to ove chatty among themselves when they accidentally flatten his mailbox.

As they were leading into a comical and the heart-warming cattails, along with the unexpected  Friendships, with the unexpected break up of u haul.   Which would change an old man and the local resident's association to their new foundation.

A word of mouth bestseller that has caused a sensation across Europe.  An angry old man next door is an uplifting exploration of the unreliability of first impressions and a gentle reminder that life is sweeter when it is shared with other people

Ove and his wife lived in this quiet little town and they work and drove in their Saab they didn't have any debt and their love was strong.  Until the day his wife left this world.  Ove was lost without his wife.  As he takes his money, and place it in the pocket, all of his bills were paid.    All that he was wanting was to be with his wife. 

Ove was not used to change when his laugh neighbors move in next door. His first impression was the sweetest when you share it with someone.  I laugh and cried reading this lovely story.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your review of "A Man Called Ove." Your description of the protagonist's transformation from a grumpy man to someone who finds unexpected friendships and meaning in life touched my heart. Your personal connection to the story shines through, making it a compelling recommendation. Well done!
