A Man Called Ove

All Ove wants to do is die - so he can join his beloved wife. He makes plans, several of them in fact, to take matters into his own hands. However, his new neighbors as well as some of his long-time neighbors, seem to keep interfering with those plans. Ove is old-school: there's a right way and a wrong way to everything. In this well told tale of one man's struggle with the changing world and attitudes, he finds that he really is needed. So, joining his wife must be postponed until his jobs are complete. I loved this book. Different style, but charming. I laughed and cried at times. Well worth the read!!!!
