《A Man Called Ove · 一个叫欧维的男人》 明天別再來敲門

In this bestselling and “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

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.

A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

来认识一下欧维，这个59岁的老头，脾气古怪，带着坚不可摧的原则、每天恪守的常规以及随时发飙的脾性在社区晃来晃去，被背地里称为“地狱来的恶邻”。他每天一大早就四处巡视，搬动没停进格线的脚踏车，检查垃圾是否按规定分类，抱怨谁家的草坪还不修剪，诅咒那只掉了毛的流浪猫。没完没了 。

他想自杀。

直到一个十一月的早晨，当一对话痨夫妇和他们的两个话痨女儿搬到隔壁，不小心撞坏了他的邮筒……

“读这个故事，”《人物周刊》说，“你会笑，你会哭，会因此想搬到北欧去，因为那里的一切都更可爱一些。”这个发生在瑞典的故事，如生命庆典般绚丽斑斓，它让我们思考，自己是谁，以及我们要如何过这一生。

有的人称它是《一个的朝圣》瑞典版，读者评价它“令人愉悦又心碎”“搞笑之余让你感动且哭得稀里哗啦”“读到一本好小说的感觉真好”！

它已被拍成电影（传送门：https://movie.douban.com/subject/26628357/），这里有一个愤怒的恪守常规的普通邻家老头，一对话痨夫妇和话痨女儿、这里有一只掉了毛的乱蓬蓬的倒霉猫，这是一场人与人之间的迷人相遇。

真是个chessy的故事，但为什么读的时候我经常在哭，偶尔在笑🙃 读完只想赶紧给我爸妈打电话，表达牵挂，然而肯定要被他们骂怎么还不睡觉.. 想告诉他们，我现在很幸福，希望他们不要再老去了.
