Review #611: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman



My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“Though lovers be lost, love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.”

----Dylan Thomas



Fredrik Backman, the Swedish international bestselling author, has penned a terrific and extremely enduring story about an old man and his struggles to adjust to the constantly changing universe and also with his life after his wife's death, in his book named, A Man Called Ove. A grouchy old man who is cynical about the modern world is turning out to be, especially after his darlings wife's death, only to be peeled away those shades of irritation to display his affectionate side by his neighbor woman, who finally saves him.
