  • "Ove, en gnaven og regelfikseret gammel mand, har gjort det til sin opgave at kontrollere alt og alle i boligforeningen. Men bag Oves bitre fremtoning gemmer der sig en sørgmodig historie og efter tabet af sin kone har Ove på forskellig spidsfindig vis forsøgt selvmord. Men da en larmende iransk kvinde og hendes familie flytter ind ved siden af, rusker det liv i Oves rutiner og tristesse."

  • "In this bestselling and delightfully quirky debut novel from Sweden, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door."
  • "La 4ème de couverture indique : Dans le lotissement où il vit depuis quarante ans, Ove est connu pour être un râleur de la pire espèce. Enfermé dans sa routine maniaque, à cheval sur ses principes, il se méfie de tout et de tous. Depuis la mort de sa femme et son licenciement, tous les matins, il inspecte le quartier, peste contre les automobilistes, et cherche le meilleur moyen de se suicider. Le problème : un chat pelé et une tripotée de nouveaux voisins semblent bien décidés à ne pas le laisser mourir en paix..."
  • "Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon; the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him 'the bitter neighbour from hell'. But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient 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."
  • "A curmudgeon hides a terrible personal loss beneath a cranky and short-tempered exterior while clashing with new neighbors, a boisterous family whose chattiness and habits lead to unexpected friendship."
