Wow, Fredrik Backman really has a way with words. What a beautiful, heartbreaking story of how one person is all it takes to completely change your perspective. The way Ove learns to bring himself out of his grief over his wife’s passing to become a human so surrounded by love was just beautiful. The world finally got to see the Ove that Sonja knew. And that was absolutely incredible.
Heartbreaking story but so real and honest. Love that about Fredrick’s books. He always also able to put into words feelings that often feel above description. Just so beautifully crafted.
