grumpy old swedish man wants to commit suicide but can't because he is just too compassionate to die
ironically, he ends up dying because his heart is too big
also he has a tragic backstory. perfect recipe for a little tearjerker if that's the kind of story you're looking for :D 

this book is also filled with many great comparisons. to giggle for :D
