Ove is a curmudgeonly Saab driving widower whose reclusive life is upturned when a young couple and their two and a half children move in next door.
After an unceremonious introduction (they run over his mailbox on moving day,) Ove is inexorably drawn into their jolly, chaotic orbit. Privacy, rules, and pet free zones become a thing of the past as Ove discovers what it means to be part of a community.
Two films have been made of the novel, one in Swedish and one in English starring Tom Hanks.
Charming.
