BOOK - Man called Ove
AUTHOR - Fredrik Backman
My rating - 4.75/5
Beautifully written story which leaves us with smile and tears
This book will definitely make you laugh and cry at the same time. It is about a man who will definitely make you fall in love with himself not by love, but by his grumpiness.
Ove is a man without any filter and is as rational as a man can get. He is an archetypal grumpy old guy who hates everyone around and considers them all a fool.
This man is a pragmatic person who is all about practical knowledge and discipline. But, to call him heartless, would be a misnomer.
Ove teaches us true meaning of love in this modern world of show-off and bling. The way he loved his wife tells us that he's not as stone-hearted as he pretends to be.
This book is definitely worth a good read and will surely make your soul happy but in tears once you reach the epilogue.
