Pints & Prose: A Man Called Ove

Adults 21 and up

Do you love talking about books and enjoying delicious beverages? Then this is the book club for you! We meet monthly to discuss a book and enjoy some tasty pints.

This month's selection is A Man Called Ove 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 shake one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.

Copies of the book will be available at the Check-out Desk.
