At tonight’s book group gathering we will discuss A Man Called Ove, by Fredrik Backman.  “A word-of-mouth bestseller that has caused a sensation across Europe, Backman’s irresistible novel about the angry old man next door is an uplifting exploration of the unreliability of first impressions and a gentle reminder that life is sweeter when it is shared with other people.” Publisher’s Weekly says it is “a funny crowd-pleaser that serves up laughs to accompany a thoughtful reflection on loss and love.”
