Sonja's father allows Ove to look at his truck (A Man Called Ove)


The two men looked at each other for a moment. Then Sonja's father nodded. And Ove nodded curtly back. And then they rose to their feet, objective and determined, in the way two men might behave if they had just agreed to go and kill a third man.

Fredrik Backman (A man Called Ove)
