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?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBehind 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFredrik 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” (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132381806761,"sku":"PHBK-9781476738024","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/21431973482713_ec482c33-8184-4a89-8b23-0fc69e9ff9de.jpg?v=1780103413","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/a-man-called-ove-a-novel","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
