\nGoodreads-
\nA grumpy ye t loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boistero us young family moves in next door.
\nMeet Ove. He's a curm udgeon\, the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles\, st rict routines\, and a short fuse. People call him \;the bitter neighbo r from hell\, but must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around w ith a smile plastered to his face all the time?
\nBehind th e cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November mor ning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next do or and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox\, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats\, unexpected friendship\, and the a ncient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations
