About the book:
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman is a heartwarming and humorous novel that follows the life of Ove, a gruff, solitary man who believes in strict routines, practical solutions, and keeping to himself—until unexpected friendships begin to pull him back into the world. As new neighbors move in and disrupt his quiet life, Ove’s hidden tenderness, grief, and capacity for love slowly come to light. The story beautifully explores themes of community, compassion, loss, and the profound impact we can have on one another’s lives, making it a meaningful read for discussion across diverse backgrounds.
