In this bestselling and “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.
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).

蕊ꦿ℘゜এ05-06读到一本好的小说的感觉真好。幽默的最高境界也许就是笑中带泪。搞笑之余却让你感动得哭成狗。这是瑞典一位博主写的关于一个叫Ove的非常有原则的臭脾气的怪老头的故事。怪老头失去了他的最爱(他老婆)之后失去了人生的意义,决定自杀,却屡次被邻居打扰,到最后都没能自杀成功。可是却与邻居们建立起深厚的感情。故事中穿插着Ove年轻时候的事,让人理解他性格的形成,让人不自觉得喜欢上这个人。我就很喜欢Ove,到最后遗书上都还写“别让人开车进住宅区!!”我真是流着泪笑喷。 @2015-05-06 17:28:25 @2021-12-22 10:56:34

appleausten03-06文笔不算最优秀,但是故事的确很动人.Ove这个人塑造得很成功,这样的爱情让人(我)异常期待一个家庭,之前也有过一次这种感觉,就是看杨绛和钱钟书.虽然结局过分童话式大团圆,但是时不时有这种暖心的鸡汤,还是很心满意足。
