«Un hombre llamado Ove» is the contemporary novel by Fredrik Backman, published by Grijalbo in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Ove is a grumpy and meticulous neighbor who takes refuge in rules and routine, though his character also brings smiles. The arrival of new neighbors and several unforeseen situations break his isolation and restore his faith in others. His community discovers that the neighborhood would not be the same without this endearing curmudgeon.
This Spanish edition, translated from Swedish by Carmen Montes Cano, was published in 2014 within the Grijalbo Narrativa collection. The novel gave rise to the movie nominated for two Academy Awards.
For lovers of contemporary fiction who enjoy moving stories about everyday characters and neighborhood relationships.
