Fredrik Backman - Um Homem Chamado Ove

Ove isn’t the kind of neighbor you’d want to bump into on the street. He’s a grumpy, solitary old man who doesn’t like people. After all, nowadays no one respects traffic signs, knows how to recycle properly, change a tire, or even tell the different types of screwdrivers apart.

And let’s not even get started on how to brew a proper cup of coffee using a real coffee maker! No one wants to take responsibility anymore. Everything’s about convenience… it’s all online now, and coffee is instant. As if that weren’t enough, he’s lost the one person who brought color to his days. And in return, he gets some strange new neighbors—God knows from where—who seem hell-bent on interfering with the grand plan Ove has for his life.

Or rather, for the end of it. Because behind that gruff exterior lies a story of loneliness and sorrow. But a series of unexpected events will slowly begin to restore his faith in humanity. And, at the same time, the people around him start to realize the neighborhood just wouldn’t be the same without Ove.

It would be a colder place, less caring, and—strange as it may seem—much less fun. Quirky and bittersweet, heartwarming and hilarious, Um Homem Chamado Ove​ is a modern classic that will undoubtedly bring tears to your eyes with every page.
