Marywood Reads: Tuesday, December 10, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., in the Archives Reading Room, LC 203
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman is the December book for Marywood Reads. "Ove is 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 neighbour from hell.” However, 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 heart-warming tale." (from the book's blurb)
