Loved this book!! I can see how this book became a word-of-mouth international best-seller. Ove initially appears to be a miserable old man who loves routines and rules and not much more. When new neighbors literally bump into his life, they derail plans he has made to join his late wife. As Ove's backstory is revealed, readers learn about Ove's approach to life and about his marriage. Ove doesn't change his stubborn ways, but does discover a fulfilling way to live in his new life. I laughed and cried.
