Discussion

Group

In this bestselling and delightfully quirky debut novel from Sweden, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

Meet Ove. Hes a curmudgeonthe 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 doesnt 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 Oves 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.

Moriah Senior Makes a Difference When Moriah senior Walter Kehr attended a performance by the New York Youth Symphony, he was horrified to hear that 21-year-old Estonian-American composer, Jonas Tarm, had included quotes from the Nazi anthem "Horst Wessel Lied in his composition. Walter returned home and immediately drafted a letter to the Symphony telling them what exactly their young performers were playing.

For those who think that seniors cant make a difference, it might be interesting to know that the NYYS asked the composer to explain his choice and when he refused, they immediately cancelled the concert and pulled the piece from their repertoire.
