Ove is tired after a lifetime of railing against the world's irritations - from people who don't know how to do DIY properly to those who park in a pedestrian area. He only wants to join his late wife but fate, interfering neighbours and an annoying cat keep getting in the way. Achingly sad and laugh out loud funny in turn, this book leaves you wondering if maybe there's something more behind the grumpy people we come across in our lives.
