Swedish writer Frederick Buckman has been adapted into a film of the same name, and he also has a more famous novel called "Grandma's Apology Letter". A warm book with a lot of temperature.
The story tells the story of a 59-year-old angry youth named Ovi who decided to commit suicide because he lost his meaning to life after his wife died half a year ago. Divided into two lines to tell, one chapter is normal story development, and the other is reminiscing about previous lives of one's own parents, friends and lovers.
Many people don't understand why Sawyer married Ovie. They don't understand Ovie's stubbornness, and only Sawyer understands Ovi's value, because "no other boy has ever been willing to sit next to her and listen to her talk for hours on the train."
The first time he was about to hang himself, he was accidentally interrupted by a little girl from the neighbor's house who came to deliver rice, and later he was able to hang himself with peace of mind, but the rope broke in two. Once again, he committed suicide by shutting himself in a garage and sucking carbon monoxide, and his neighbor Parwana happened to ask him for help to the hospital. The next time he was preparing to commit suicide on the tracks, he decided to give up after seeing the driver's eyes, and also saved a person who fell due to illness. Another night when he was about to shoot himself, he was interrupted by a boy who had quarreled with his father and had nowhere to go to stay.
In this way, Ovi's suicide plan was interrupted again and again.
Although he repeatedly begged for death, Ovie unknowingly helped his neighbor solve many troubles, and he was too busy to commit suicide.
This book is particularly heartwarming, and I hope you will have time to read it
