Happy Spring, Waitlisters!

In this latest page-to-screen adaptation, Tom Hanks stars as Otto Anderson, a character taken from the pages of Fredrik Backman’s well-loved novel, A man called Ove.

When a lively young family moves in next door, grumpy widower Otto Anderson meets his match in a quick-witted, pregnant woman named Marisol, leading to an unlikely friendship that turns his world upside down.

With 60 GMILCS patrons waiting in the queue, I’m here to share some movie AND book suggestions to keep you entertained while you wait for this heart-warming story that brings the pages of Backman’s book to life for the American audience.

“You only need one ray of light to chase all the shadows away,”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
