Curious to see what the current book club read is?
 

January’s book for the Fort Lawn Community Center’s Book Club is “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman.

 

Summary:

A grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

 

Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon, the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him the bitter neighbor from hell, but must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?

 

Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.

 

If you are interested in joining the Fort Lawn Community Center’s Book Club, please call 803-377-8145 for more information.

 

Next Meeting: January 10, 2023 at 10:30 a.m.
