NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING TOM HANKS

The million-copy bestselling phenomenon: a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step.

'Warm, funny, and almost unbearably moving' Daily Mail

'Delightful . . . the perfect holiday read' Evening Standard

Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He thinks himself surrounded by idiots - joggers, neighbours who can't reverse a trailer properly and shop assistants who talk in code.

But isn't it rare, these days, to find such old-fashioned clarity of belief and deed? Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be, and a lifelong dedication to making it just so?

In the end, you will see, there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible . . .

'Hilarious and heart-breaking' Stylist

'Rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never get round to it' Spectator Books of the Year

This book has played a lot among various bookstagramers with the very best recommendations. And that's what I was most afraid of, because I almost always don't like other books I've heard so much ... But this one! She's amazing! both laughter while reading the book and both tears at the end of the book I have had for a long time. Such an interesting story, and what a fun and wonderful person that Uve is! The author's ability to convey the character in this way is unreal! I think this is the first but certainly not the last book the author will read! And anyway, I have nothing more to say, just take it and read it for everyone who hasn’t read it yet!
