Aliaa D’s Reviews > A Man Called Ove > Status Update

Backman is a very good storyteller. I found the way he describe complicated feelings of the characters through the changes of their cars more succinct than any.

Sorrow when shared, brings people closer. When not shared, drives them apart.

I like how the author has a different voice in this book compared to my previous read Anxious People. Some words, sentences and paragraphs were aptly repeated to emphasize its importance to Ove. Kinda poetic too.
