At first glance, Uwe is the grumpiest man in the world. Like many of us, he thinks that he’s surrounded mainly by idiots—neighbors who park their cars the wrong way; shopkeepers who speak in bird language; bureaucrats who ruin the lives of normal people… But the grumpy, complaining pedant has a big, good heart. And when a young family of new neighbors accidentally damages his mailbox, it becomes the beginning of an unbelievably touching story about lost love, unexpected friendship, homeless cats, and the ancient art of reversing a car with a trailer. A story about how much one person’s life can affect the lives of many others.
