A Man Named Ove Decides to Die
About This Novel
Meet Ove. He is 59 years old, has an eccentric temper, and dislikes both things and things. He wanders around the community with his unbreakable principles, daily routines and a temper that can explode at any time. He is secretly called the "evil neighbor from hell." He patrols around early every morning, moving bicycles that have not parked in the grid, checking whether the garbage is sorted according to regulations, complaining about whose lawn is not mowed, and cursing the stray cat that has lost its fur. Endless. He wants to commit suicide. Until one November morning, when a chatty couple and their two chatty daughters moved next door and accidentally broke his mailbox... I cried while watching the original novel of the same name of the Swedish box office champion movie in Northern Europe, warmly recommended by the Korean healing god Ji Chang Wook.

A person's quality is determined by his actions, not what he says.
The characters are very distinct
Falling in love with someone is like moving into a house. Ove's stubbornness, adherence to principles, and rigidity are in sharp contrast to Sonja's romance and tenderness. However, the love between these two different people is touching. They tolerate and understand each other, respect each other, and influence each other in a subtle way. It must be said that they are both kind in nature and love life, but each of them expresses it in a different way. After losing Sonja, Ove had no life. He tried every means to die, but he found his own value and hope of living in the troubles of his neighbors. It was a novel that made me cry and laugh after reading the whole thing. I really like it.
A man named Ove decides to die
May you be self-reliant, upright and capable, and encounter kindness
A gentle man asked me to read a gentle book??
The people we love will never truly leave us. The clues they left behind during their lifetimes will weave a dense web for us after they leave. This web will catch us when we fall. Even though Sonja left, she planted a seed in Ove's heart, making his meticulous and almost annoying character soften at the thought of what she would do. It was this seed that saved Ove from death over and over again. It was also this seed that grew into a tree and held up the bright spots in Ove's heart so that others could notice after she left. So many people came to say goodbye to Ove when he left.
Awesome
A person's quality is determined by himself
This person is like a rainbow. When you meet someone, you will know there is someone there.
He was not the kind of person who would give up easily and seek life and death, and he didn't want her to think so. But it was actually her fault that she married him. Now, he didn't know how to sleep without her nose pressed against his neck and shoulder. That's all. Shouldn't life be like this? Work hard, pay off loans and taxes, support yourself, get married, and share joys and sorrows until death. Romantic books.
From absurdity to warmth to sadness to warmth, yes, I am always clumsily loved by this world.
In the last scene of the movie, Ove and his wife are smiling in the carriage where they first met, as if they have been waiting for a long, long time. I envy such a long-lasting love.
There is a tiger in my heart, and I smell the rose carefully. A book worth reading twice! ! !
