Summary: Meet Ove. He has
staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him the
bitter neighbor from hell. 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.
