A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman is a fictional tale of the neighborhood crank. He fusses about how people park, put out their garbage, the noise they make, and more. And then he gets new, young, rowdy, and curious neighbors! His relationship with them begins when they are moving in and run over his mailbox.
A Man Called Ove was on the New York Times Best Seller list for 42 months.[1]
