She just smiled, said that she loved books more than anything, and started telling him excitedly what each of the ones in her lap was about. And Ove realised that he wanted to hear her talking about the things she loved for the rest of his life.
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
You only need one ray of light to chase all the shadows away
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
'Now you listen to me,' says Ove calmly while he carefully closes the door. 'You've given birth to two children and quite soon will be squeezing out a third. You've come here from a land far away and most likely you fled war and persecution and all sorts of other nonsense. You've learned a new language and got yourself an education and you're holding together a family of obvious incompetents. And I'll be damned if I've seen you afraid of a single bloody thing in this world before now....I'm not asking for brain surgery. I'm asking you to drive a car. It's got an accelerator, a brake and a clutch. Some of the greatest twits in world history have sorted out how it works. And you will as well.' And then he utters seven words, which Parvaneh will always remember as the loveliest compliment he'll ever give her. 'Because you are not a complete twit.'
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
Book number 18 for 2021 📖 I always thought that we can't save people; we can only love them. But this book taught me that, still, we save those we can. We are all terribly anxious and afraid, but actually, it's not our fault. I absolutely love this novel, which read like a movie. So far, it's my favorite book for the year. It's official: I've never read a #FrederikBackman book that I didn't love. And since this is a translated work, I also want to give a special thank you to the translator, #NeilSmith, who did an amazing job. 〰️ #AnxiousPeople #books #bookstagram #igreads #ireadbooksactually #nevernotreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CQkQuTUBwxj/?utm_medium=tumblr
