Man Called Ove By Backman, Fredrik

NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING TOM HANKS

The million-copy bestselling phenomenon: a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step.

''Warm, funny, and almost unbearably moving'' Daily Mail

''Delightful . . . the perfect holiday read'' Evening Standard

Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He thinks himself surrounded by idiots - joggers, neighbours who can''t reverse a trailer properly and shop assistants who talk in code.

But isn''t it rare, these days, to find such old-fashioned clarity of belief and deed? Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be, and a lifelong dedication to making it just so?

In the end, you will see, there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible . . .

''Rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never get round to it'' Spectator Books of the Year
