Ove is crotchety; he follows all of the rules and expects everyone else to do the same. Enter neighbors that do not follow the rules. Ove follows the same daily routine, his neighbors disrupt his monotony. Ove feels grief, loneliness and is ready to stop living. What do the neighbors do they ask for his help. This book is a good character study, as the story unfolds you learns how Ove became who he is. Assumptions made of others are questioned and unlikely group individuals find community. A good read especially during COVID- 19 when we need to look out for each other. I am anxious to watch the 2015 Swedish film and anticipate Tom Hanks American film adaption scheduled to come out in 2022.
