I loved this novel from the very first page.
It is the story of a cantankerous but loveable old gentleman who is hell bent on committing suicide but life and living keeps getting in the way. It is funny and sad and poignant all rolled into one. Rigid, set in his ways and inflexible are all words to describe Ove, but you will still love him and I will bet you laugh out loud at least once before the book is finished.

I started this book on a Saturday afternoon and became so engrossed that I did not put it down until the wee hours of the morning when I finished it!
Twists and turns galore!
