Book review: A Man Called Ove
Doug Warne
KKNW Scandinavian Hour
The last couple of years I’ve been hearing references to this man called Ove, but I hadn’t taken the time to look him up. He was easy to find and available in book form or even as a movie. Why, oh, why had I not allowed myself the pleasure of getting to know a man called Ove?
He isn’t the most polite person, nor does he have the most attractive manners or mannerisms. In fact, I think at one point he drove many of his neighbors mad and sent the local officials of his Swedish village into outer space.
You will laugh and even cry a little as you get to know Ove, and his heartwarming story unfolds with a cast of supporting characters
