I grew up with a Swedish father and I am married to a Swede. This book in addition to being hilarious is very true to life. In chapter 28 Ove is described as "unforgiving" because he wouldn't return to a local bakery after receiving the wrong change. I can't tell you the number of places written off by both my father and husband. The saying goes you can tell a Swede but you can't tell him much. That is Ove. Beautifully written and very touching. Highly recommend.
