À propos de cet audio

Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He isn't as young as he used to be. He drives a Saab. He points at people he doesn't like the look of. He is described by those around his as 'the neighbour from hell'.Every morning he makes his inspection rounds of the local streets. He moves bicycles and checks the contents of recycling bins, even though it's been years since he was fired as Chairman of the Residents' Association in a vicious 'coup d'état'.

But behind the surly pedant there is a story, and a sadness. And when on a November morning his new (foreign) neighbours in the terraced house opposite accidentally flatten Ove's letterbox, it sets off a comical and heart-warming tale of unexpected friendship which will change one man - and one community - from their very foundations. Quirky and bittersweet, heartbreaking yet outrageously funny, A Man Called Ove is a life-affirming fable for our times.

This is a story that really got me hooked right from the start. Such excellent narration made this so enjoyable to listen to. Now I can go watch the movie and get to know the characters even more. I’ll be reading more by this author too.. hopefully all his books are this engaging!

I completely enjoyed this story! Ove's character was vividly developed and portrayed, and the unexpected female narrator did a fabulous job-perfect enunciation and inflection. The author is a brilliant wordsmith. I am glad I came across this book before I will soon see the movie, now more deeply familiar with the true characters. Thank you for offering us this lovely story.

This book was unexpectedly wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time. Brilliantly descriptive and the narration was flawless, disappearing behind the content completely.

Endearing and sad

To start generation was great. The voices didn’t annoy me at all, and I found that it fit the story well.

I realized I fell in love with Ove when I found myself laughing chapter after chapter. As the story goes on, and this character develops, you don’t even notice how engrossed you are with his life. It was beautifully written and I’m glad to spend time reading it.

Charming, funny and so full of heart
