A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Bachman
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was beautiful. Ove is a grumpy old man. It's clear as to why he is and you love him because of the why. The writing is somber and yet comical. It's simple and meaningful. Ove is a man that feels tangible and it feels very much so like a loss to end the book and his story.
This book didn't make me anxious to change pages. Instead, it caught my breath and gave me pause several times. Ove and his unlikely family is a must read story.
Favorite Quotes:
“Men are what they are because of what they do. Not what they say.”
“He was a man of black and white. And she was color. All the color he had.”
"Every morning for the almost four decades they had lived in this house, Ove had put on the coffee percolator, using exactly the same amount of coffee as on any other morning, and then drank a cup with his wife. One measure for each cup, and one extra for the pot—no more, no less."
