A Man Called Ove

A delightful book about an old curmudgeon, who's lost his wife through death and no longer finds life worth living. I enjoyed the humour in this book and the cast of neighbourhood characters, including the cat, which has a personality of its own. I found the book too long at times, and got frustrated with Ove's ongoing grumpiness. After so many overtures to him by people in his midst, I would've expected some softening of both his exterior and interior. But having said that, there are people who have a crustiness that is hard to penetrate. Recommended for anyone wishing a light but enjoyable read.
