I was a sniveling, nearly sobbing mess after finishing A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. He can write characters like nobody's business.

It's been a while since a book has brought out such an emotion for me. It's such a heartwarming, beautifully written story and exactly what I needed.

I came here to cite the same book. I picked it up randomly at the bookstore after reading the first page. Had no idea the reading experience I would have. Like you, I cried then held the book close to me. It's truly a special work of fiction when read just at the right time in someone's life.
