Delightful ... the perfect holiday read. ― Evening Standard

It's the most enchanting, beautiful tale. -- Ben Fogle

A warm and tender story about love, loss and second chances, peppered with memorable characters, wonderful set pieces and some beautifully black humour. Ove is a joy from start to finish. -- Gavin Extence, author of The Universe versus Alex Woods

An uplifting, life-affirming and often comic tale of how kindness, love and happiness can be found in the most unlikely places. ― Sunday Express

A charming debut. ― People

Review

Delightful... there's a bit of Ove in all of us - which makes it the perfect holiday read. - Evening Standard

A MAN CALLED OVE finally rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never get round to it. Crotchety old git Ove argues with neighbours, reluctantly inherits a cat, punches a clown and, by the end of the book, has you wanting to hug him. - Spectator BOOKS OF THE YEAR

It's warm, funny, with the laughs based on a solid grasp of character; and ultimately almost unbearably moving. - Daily Mail

A MAN CALLED OVE is a wonderful novel that will stay with you . . . Ove's story has an underlying sadness which the author tackles with great warmth and humour . . . It's a bittersweet, heartwarming tale which will leave listeners with a restored faith in the power of friendship and perhaps even a love for cats. - Psychologies Magazine

The most charming book you'll read this year. - Kirkus

A warm and tender story about love, loss and second chances, peppered with memorable characters, wonderful set pieces and some beautifully black humour. Ove is a joy from start to finish. - Gavin Extence, author of The Universe versus Alex Woods

"Ove will upset us, cause us to be upset on his behalf and make us laugh till we daren't drink fluids and read simultaneously but by the end we're uplifted and don't want to go." - Bookbag

An uplifting, life-affirming and often comic tale of how kindness, love and happiness can be found in the most unlikely places. - Sunday Express

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Henning Koch (b. 1962) was born in Uppsala, Sweden but at an early age moved to England, where he was brought up in London and Hampshire. After completing his degree studies in English Literature at Bedford College, London, in 1984, he spent a decade traveling and working in Asia, the United States, Spain and South America. His interest in Mediterranean and Hispanic cultures has been a strong influence in his writing, and continues to be a driving factor. His debut "Love Doesn't Work" (Dzanc, 2011) is a mixed-genre short story collection set in London, Sardinia and Stockholm. His first novel, "The Maggot People" (Dzanc, 2014), takes an irreverent look at religion and the underlying assumptions of immortality.
