Virtual Books 'n Bites - "A Man Called Ove: A Novel” by Fredrik Backman –
We meet on the second Wednesday of the month via Zoom. Join us! for this month when we will discuss the book "A Man Called Ove: A Novel” by Fredrik Backman 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. Email Sandy at SRivera@vailgov.com to receive an invitation to the Zoom meeting. |
