The Second Life of Uwe - Fredrik Backman 264 pages

Judging by first impressions, Ove can be called the most quarrelsome person on the planet. A corrosive elderly lover of grumbling, who is already tired of the neighbors with his eternal nagging. He gets annoyed at literally everything - an incorrectly parked car or trash thrown past a trash can, bureaucrats and salespeople who poison the lives of ordinary citizens and use bird language to communicate... But imagine, a grumpy pedant has a big and kind heart. And when a young family settles nearby and the new neighbors accidentally damage Ove’s mailbox with their car, an incredibly touching and surprising story begins about unexpected friendship and lost love, the ancient art of backing up a car with a trailer and stray cats. This is a story about how much impact the life of one person can have on the lives of others.
