Description

Meet Ove. Curmudgeon. The kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines-- and a short fuse. People think him bitter-- and he thinks himself surrounded by idiots. One November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, shaking up Ove's well-ordered, solitary world, chainging Ove-- and those he meets-- in this comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship-- and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.
