A Man Called Ove, Fredrick Backman



Read on the Kindle - Rachel's choice for book club, although we won't discuss it until after Christmas.

Pronounced to rhyme with "hoover", Ove is an elderly man, living on his own in a house on a normal housing estate.  Ove is a stickler for rules and regulations, and is downright rude to his neighbours.

Throughout the story, you come to find out why Ove behaves as he does, and you also find out there is more to him than meets the eye.

A whimsical tale, in the same vein as The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, the ending is similarly bittersweet.
