A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
The million-copy bestselling phenomenon: a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step. 'Warm, funny, and almost unbearably moving' Daily Mail 'Delightful . . . the perfect holiday read' Evening Standard Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He thinks himself surrounded by idiots - joggers, neighbours who can't reverse a trailer properly and shop assistants who talk in code. But isn't it rare, these days, to find such old-fashioned clarity of belief and deed? Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be, and a lifelong dedication to making it just so? In the end, you will see, there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible . . . 'Hilarious and heart-breaking' Stylist 'Rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never get round to it' Spectator Books of the Year NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING TOM HANKS
