Fort Lawn Community Center Book Club

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.
