Book summary:

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 neighbor 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.

Ascending

"There is no moon. No one speaks as we step out of our home for the last time, into the dark night. I glance at the village huts, afraid of being discovered, of my heart thumping too loudly, but around us all is still. We quickly walk through the familiar surroundings and beyond, far beyond." So begins the journey of young Anika and her f...
