I just finished reading Truly Madly Guilty, and the character of Ove is reminiscent of that story's crotchety old neighbor, Harry. Ove, a cranky widower, has a very hard shell -he keeps to himself and couldn't care less whether people like him or think of him at all. As the story unfolds, the reader gets a glimpse as to why Ove keeps himself so guarded. Though he is set in his ways and lives strictly by a well-scheduled routine, circumstances force him off-track. It's delightful to read as he's transformed by these unplanned circumstances, and in turn, how he transforms others.
