A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (2014) Atria Books

A curmudgeon is retired from his job at the railroad.  His wife was disabled and has died.  He has no reason to go on, though he’s not very good at ending his own life.  Every attempt gets interrupted by his new incompetent neighbors and the man he’s had a long-standing feud with is no longer able to talk, much less do anything.

This is a story about how people need other people.  How life is enriched by family,, including the people around you who don’t have your experience or tenacity.
