My Favourite Quotes from A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

Loved A Man Called Ove? Here are the best 10 quotes from the novel that will take you back to Ove's Swedish suburb.

A man called Ove gets his life turned upside down one fine November morning when his new next-door neighbours drive their trailer over his mailbox. Ove, an old, cantekerous Swede who has strict routines and a grumpy persona, was obviously not happy about this.

What follows is a tale filled with unkempt cats, unlikely friendships and a community's unexpected reassessment of the one person they thought they had all figured out.

I loved A Man Called Ove. Even though it's my first read of 2023, I have a feeling that this will be one of my best reads of the year. The story was absolutely heartbreaking, and the writing was perfection.

So, here are some of my favourite quotes from A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.
