I really enjoyed this book. It started off rather oddly, appearing to be about a rather annoying guy called Ove. Indeed the book is about him and he would probably be annoying to be around. However, ultimately it is a love story - or a couple of intertwined love stories. And probably the most moving one that I have ever read. After the first 50 pages or so I was totally drawn in; I was very surprised by how emotional the ending made me.
My past (limited) experience of Swedish literature has always been rather dark. I assume that this was originally published in Swedish. I will check out other work by the author for sure.
