A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
Ove is the meanest old man you'd ever want to meet, or maybe not. He simply has principles and chooses to live by them in a manner the rest of us would call strict and stodgy. But all that means is that we don't know Ove at all.
I don't want to give you any background on this story, other than Ove is an old man who is ready to call it quits. The author has woven this story full of unexpected twists and turns, a surprise every few pages. I want you to experience that for yourself, because Ove is going to become your new best friend.
A Man Called Ove is the best feel good book I've read in a long time. My sister-in-law sent me the book from California. I may never have found this story if not for the joy it has brought to others who wanted to spread good news to our troubled world. More love is what we all need.
I smiled, I laughed, and I cried like a baby. I finished reading about Ove while at work on my lunch hour. The boss wanted to know what was wrong, why my eyes were so red. What more could we want from a book than to experience the full range of emotion? It's what I love about reading and it's what I love about Ove.
