The number 1 European bestseller by the author of New York Times bestseller and
international phenomenon A Man Called Ove, Britt-Marie was Here is a funny,
poignant and uplifting tale of love, community, and second chances. For as long
as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It's not that
she's judgemental, or fussy, or difficult - she just expects things to be done
in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order, for
example (forks, knives, then spoons). We're not animals, are we? But behind the
passive-aggressive, socially awkward, absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who
has more imagination, bigger dreams and a warmer heart than anyone around her
realizes. So when Britt-Marie finds herself unemployed, separated from her
husband of 20 years, left to fend for herself in the miserable provincial
backwater that is Borg - of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a
road going through it - and somehow tasked with running the local football team,
she is a little unprepared. But she will learn that life may have more to offer
her that she's ever realised, and love might be found in the most unexpected of
places.
