A Man Called Ove
November Book Selection--Discussion Monday, November 14, 2016
Ove is getting older. He’s 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.
People in Ove’s neighborhood call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.”
But behind Ove’s cranky exterior lies a story and a sadness.
-- Simon and Schuster
