?Acaso tengo que andar todo el dia sonriendo como un bobo?

Ove no es el tipico vecino con el que te apetece cruzarte en el barrio. Es un cascarrabias, un pesado que insiste hasta la exageracion en mantener el orden y la disciplina, un casi sesenton solitario y resentido a quien el destino ha arrebatado demasiadas cosas. Sin embargo, en la vida de Ove algo esta a punto de cambiar. Una serie de circunstancias fortuitas van devolviendole poco a poco la fe en el genero humano. Y, al mismo tiempo, las personas que le rodean comienzan a comprender que su barrio no seria el mismo sin el grunon de Ove. Seria un lugar mas frio, menos solidario y, aunque parezca mentira, tambien mucho menos divertido… porque, al final, todo el mundo quiere a Ove.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Read the New York Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm!

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.

A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s 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 (Booklist, starred review).
