HEY THERE BOOK CLUB FRIENDS!
This month, we’re talking all about the critically acclaimed, worldwide bestseller from Swedish columnist and blogger Fredrik Backman - A Man Called Ove. Ove is the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. He’s also deep in the grips of grief after losing his beloved wife, Sonja. He doesn’t know it yet, but when a boisterous young family moves in next door, his life is about to change. A Man Called Ove was published in English in 2014 and has sold more than 2.8 million copies internationally. In 2015 it was even made into a movie.
Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle break down why this book made them chuckle and cry in equal measure, as well as the standout characters and main takeaways from the book.
