Groundwork Bridgeport Book Club

  • Groundwork Bridgeport 1001 Main Street, Suite 18 Bridgeport, CT, 06604 United States (map)

Join us for our monthly book club! For the September meeting, we are reading Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove, the story of a grumpy yet loveable man named Ove who finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door. He has staunch principles, strict routines, a short fuse, and doesn’t hesitate to express his views. People call him the bitter neighbor from hell, but behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. The impact of Ove’s interactions with these new neighbors and the rules of the Association in which they live, explores the complicated relationships between people and the importance of looking beyond first impressions to understand the layers incorporated in each of us.
