Description
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 . . .
‘Hilarious and heart-breaking’ Stylist
‘Rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never get round to it’ Spectator Books of the Year
