What a roller coaster of emotions this book holds!

Ove is an individual that reminded me so much of my Apa, he will not deal with any incompetence or any rule breakers. The only thing that kept Ove going in life was his beautiful and caring Sonya.
In this story we get the love story that is Ove and Sonya along with Ove adjusting to life without her. When a new neighbor backs his trailer into Ove's mailbox that chance encounter sets Ove in a new direction to kindness.

I cried several times but the end was the most touching for me. I loved this book and will now watch the movie, which I hope stands up to this beautiful story.
