Sin embargo, en la vida de Ove algo est a punto de cambiar. Una serie de circunstancias fortuitas van devolvi ndole poco a poco la fe en el g nero humano. Y, al mismo tiempo, las personas que le rodean comienzan a comprender que su barrio no ser a el mismo sin el gru n de Ove. Ser a un lugar m s fr o, menos solidario y, aunque parezca mentira, tambi n mucho menos divertido... porque, al final, todo el mundo quiere a Ove. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Read the New York Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm Meet Ove. He's a 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 call him "the bitter neighbor from hell." But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations. A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, Fredrik Backman's novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. "If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year, ' this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down" (Booklist, starred review). |
