I cried with this book as if I had just lost a loved one. It emotionally destroyed me, read it 😌

Want to know my kind of silly?
“Ove stands there with his hands in his pockets. The cat beside him looks as if it would do the same, if it had pockets. Or hands.”
That’s my kind of silly.
This book is a complete emotional rollercoaster ride.
#AManCalledOve
They stayed in a little hotel, with a little pool, and a little restaurant run by a man whose name, as Ove understood it, was Hosay. It was spelled 'José' but it seemed people weren't too particular about pronunciation in Spain. Hosay couldn't speak any Swedish but he was very interested in speaking anyway. Sonja had a little book, in which she looked things up, so she could say things like 'sunset' and 'ham' in Spanish. Ove felt it didn't stop being the butt end of a pig just because you said it another way, but he never mentioned this.
In the evenings, Sonja played music for her belly, because she said it made the child move. Ove mostly just sat in his armchair on the other side of the room and pretended to be watching television while she was doing it. In his innermost thoughts he was worried about what it would be like once the child finally decided to come out. What if, for example, the kid disliked Ove because Ove wasn't so fond of music? It's not that Ove was afraid. He just didn't know how to prepare himself for fatherhood. He had asked for some sort of manual but Sonja had just laughed at him. Ove didn't understand why. There were manuals for everything else. He was doubtful about whether he'd be any good a being someone's dad. He didn't like children an awful lot.
Perhaps every first time dad everywhere?
#AManCalledOve
Text: Ove did the same thing every day for three months. In the end she grew tired of his never inviting her out for dinner. So she invited herself instead. ‘I'll be waiting here tomorrow evening at eight o'clock. I want you to be wearing a suit and I'd like you to invite me out for dinner,' she said succinctly as she stepped off the train one Friday evening. And so it was.
Not for the first time in this book, I feel seen…

Truly one of the sweetest and romantic lines I've ever read.

This is one of those books I don't want to finish because I know it will hurt me. #BookSky #AManCalledOve #FredrikBackman
The background is split into a watercolor blue top half and white bottom half. There are blue birds on the white half, and white birds on the blue half. In the center of the image is a watercolor illustration of the earth. There is a quote from Fredrik Backman's "A Man Called Ove" on top of the earth that says, "So he fought the whole world."
[MB QOTD]
Anger? Sure, it’s necessary
When something burns, it’s with purpose
Perhaps that’s our history
Sometimes that changes the world

The main character in this novel I'm reading is a grumpy old bastard who hates people that can't (or don't) read signs, and I have to say that perhaps this person is my soulmate...

When I wrote #AlbertEntwistle, people commented on its similarities with a book called #AManCalledOve but I’d never read it! This week I watched the film version and loved it. As tears welled in my eyes, I felt proud to have written a book that people think has the same spirit ❤️

Yes, #Chinook are declining almost everywhere, but Sockeye are flourishing. #Sockeye are better eating anyway, though many restaurant waiters will tell you Chinook is better because it's fatter. This is the Volvo-Saab feud from #AmancalledOve.

A man called Ove di Hannes Holm, visto su #Mubi
5/5 ⭐
Ma la dolcezza? ❤️
Non conoscevo questa storia, il libro non mi era noto e per fortuna nemmeno il remake del 2022 con Tom Hanks, perché Rolf Lassgård è spettacolare.
