What a fantastic book! Ove is a man who is hard to like, yet I love him. In fact, this author has written a book entirely of characters that I think are superb. I won't get into the story, I feel it will give too much away to try and explain it in a way that would make another person want to read it. I will just say that I had full tears running down my cheeks and a big smile on my face when I finished this book. I urge everyone to read about Ove, the man with a desire and a world designed to keep him from it. Excellent!
